Finally I got my babyy

Searched at a 500 mile radius and nothing came up with the options I wanted, so I wasn't going to settle so I ordered

Here are some quick pictures that I took on my driveway because I'm exhausted lol













I don't know if it's the clutch or new car engine smell, hoping it's the latter. I have less than 45 minutes of stick shift experience under my belt and I already had to deal with highway traffic, 60+mph cruising, and normal city driving D:
I'm not riding the clutch, didn't miss a gear, and I already stalled 3 times

This car is the first time you've driven a manual?

Nope I drove four others but adding all the practice time altogether it was about an hour of practice. The salesman wanted to teach me how to do donuts haha but man this clutch is amazing! I got the engaging point down, no bogging either! So I give it a day or two and ill be shifting in my sleep

You have a beauty there. I picked up my 13 Deep Impact Blue w/ Perf Package in an auto (wanted the stick but wife needs the auto) in July from a dealer in Tampa. I just have the base interior and think your leather seats are gorgeous. Very cool contrast with the blue. Enjoy your ride and I'll be looking for you if your in the Tampa Bay Area!
