Congrats! Looks like its time to finally change your "custom user text" (under your name) LOL

I'm expecting mine next week. I dont think I can take this wait any longer. My dealer called me a couple of days ago to let me know that mine is on rail from Cali to Chicago. *sigh* I hope it gets here early.

ooo that should be fun, I would have had no chance. when the cars brand new the clutch is ON/OFF, no slip. much much much easier after a few miles are on it. its gonna be rough getting there tho.

good luck, have fun, dont hit anything while bunny hopping.

Congrats Girlie! Get out and drive her! I saw a redline yesterday and thought about you, wondered if you had made it up to pick up the car.

I'll have my 1200 miles on it tonight, 7 days

Just remember what I told you, driving a manual is a snap. Congratulations, Girlie. Enjoy the car and have a very Happy Birthday!

Congrats on your Zzzzz, Girlie.

Don't let learning to drive a manny tranny intimidate you; it ain't all that tough. I taught my son on the Zzzz & it went just fine; just find a level large area such as a shoping center parking lot (when stores are closed) or quiet street.

Happy b-day.

I posted this in a regional thread, but did you end up going with Todd at Bommarito?

Congrats, btw.

He loves it, I think he is ready to give me his Silverado so he can keep the Z
I drove the car a little bit last night and didn't kill it once, it is actually way easier than the Prelude I have been practicing in.

Well congrats again Girlie. I broke 1200 last night, in the last 7 days I had 28 hours and 45 minutes spent in the car...... yeah, that's pretty sad, and I even had two dates last weekend that I didn't get much driving time in.
