4 days and counting...

till I pick up my new G. Finally got a job where I can afford this car, along with grad school loans and a condo on the beach. Picking it up on Saturday morning. I got the coupe sport w/ every available option minus nav. Black on cream....20%'s all around. Might dip the 19''s in gun powder and drop it a half inch before summer, but no plans for any other mods...can't go nuts with a lease...and to be completely honest, this car is so sick off the showroom floor with all the options I'm not gonna complain.

Just curious to see how you others like it....speed on an empty highway, handling in rain, etc. Any feedback would be awesome...Saturday is gonna be a sunny cruise day...cant wait.

Welcome, congrats on the purchase.

Don't be dipping your wheels in gun powder though, KaBoom! Gun metal might be a safer bet.

Unfortunately though, I believe your Saturday isn't going to be sunny, I think we are getting rain tomorrow through the weekend. But soon enough you'll be able to enjoy it in sunny Socal.

Thanks man. I meant gun metal....it was 2am when I posted that...brain was half asleep.

I'm on the East coast in NY and Fri Sat and Sun are looking to be clear and sunny ; ) And the Ocean Parkway will be open for cruising...can't wait.

We're getting hammered with snow right now so I'm glad I held on to my truck for another 4 days. I'll post some pics once I get the ride, and shine up the wheels.

Thanks man...I'm debating on dropping it just because of my driveway steepness and the 15 speed bumps in my office parking lot. I don't want to start scraping up the undercarriage. We'll see. The wheels fit nicely in the wells as is for now.

eibach is about 1.5" front, 1" rear on my car. i have huge speedbumps at my place and i just go over them slowly and angled. not a bad price for a sweeter looking car.
