Words cannot describe how I feel right now. Elation is one that comes to mind.

I was expecting Joe today at 8am. But around 8:30pm he gives me a phone call and tells me he wants to drop it off at 11pm. Already excited about the next day I said OK! so now the wait, never thought 2.5hrs can be sooo long. Well 11 comes around and I get a call from Jeff telling me he's a few blocks away. I quickly run outside to wait for him. Within a minute he pulls up with my brand new S. My face looked like this OMG it's beautiful. Pictures don't do this car any justice, it's 100x more spectacular in person.

Jeff arrives and immediately starts to unload it off the trailer. (sorry for the bad photo quality, no time for a tripod )



Jeff pulls it into the driveway



So after I say my goodbye and Jeff drives off, what do you think I should do? lol, after a couple of quick rounds around the block I had a huge ear to ear grin on my face.

I can't even remember how many miles the car had on it when I started, must've been just about 10miles. Haven't even tried it with the top down yet. That's for tomorrow



To tell you the truth I never test drove the 2004 when I decided to buy it, so this was a new experience for me.

Some first impressions.

- The exhaust is extremely throaty for a 4cyl. It sounded a lot like my v6 accord with a comptech exhaust. Not as deep but definately sweet sounding.
- The stick is the smoothest, most snick snick I've ever experienced in manual car.
- The seat and driving position are amazing, just what I expected in a sports car.
- Of course I've only reved it up to around 5krpm so far, but it has an ample amount of torque under that.
- Ok, only thing I don't like, no lighted keyhole, I couldn't see where I was shoving the key

Funniest thing, when I first went to start the car, I totally forgot about the start button, umm duh

Oh, check out the new key, very nice.



Well that's it for now, I'm inclined to go for another drive right now.

It's about damn time.

You, of course, picked the most fastest of the fastest color combination.

I remember how much of a joy picking my 04 up was, still seeing it in the tape, actually helping remove the tape.

It was an awesome experience.
