Finally!!!!!
To all of you awaiting the arrival of your vehicles....it eventually does happen!!!! I have been waiting since the end of Dec. to take delivery... and as of yesterday everything fell in order.....I bought the car in Boston MA.... Because I live in WNY (Buffalo) a short plane trip was necessary. I touched down in Boston, and was greeted by the salesman...another courtesy extended to me by the dealership. Once we arrived at the dealership, there sat my "dream"...a bit "dirty", but that was one of my delivery requests not to wash it. I signed a few papers, and was on my way....I can not say enough for the treatment of the dealership staff. I took it upon myself to bring a small "trinket" for the salesman to show my appreciation in how he handled the sale. The 480 mile drive back to NY was an experience of a lifetime....a lot of lookers....I must have had a shit eating grin on my face the whole drive back!!! So now as it stands, I have a bit more driving to do to take the odometer past 600....and really get to appreciate the full power of this awesome machine!! One other thing about the dealership...if any one is interested, send me a PM and I will give you the info on the dealership and salesman....1-------2-------0 miles to go and VTEC will be unleashed!!!!!!

Congratulations on you fine purchase. That must have been some trip home. I'm origonally from Gowanda, still have family out there, and make the trip "out west" a few times a year. Maybe this summer we can hook up if I get out to WNY. I also ordered a hardtop for mine but that won't be here for about a month.

I wish to add my congratulations, as well. Now I understand why you bought it in Boston and drove it back. You wanted to reduce the amount of time spent waiting for the magic 600 miles to be completed 
It's certainly worth the wait.

Well, Sunday morning...(5:30am) I had to run downtown. A glance down at the odometer reads 593...I know 600 is going to hit somewhere on the Skyway into the city....this time of the morning...I have the road to myself.....600 elapses....and before you know it....130mph and climbing...truly amazing, and a bit frightful because it just wanted to keep going.....But the true appreciation was later in the day when I felt true VTEC, 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear wound out....incredible speed and acceleration.....damn I need a radar detector!!!!

Also I smoozed my way into the St. Pat's day parade in Buffalo.....Had a lot of thumbs up, one drunken ass, ran up to the side of the car, slurred a scream at me....."that's a fag car...buy American" go figure?
