Vin #5765 has come home!

I picked it up yesterday!

I wasn't expecting to take delivery until sometime around Christmas. I guess I got my present early!

It's raining, so I can't really enjoy the ride just yet, but it looks like there may be a few days left in the year for cruising before time to store for the winter.
There were 15 miles on it when I turned the key. I'm planning to drive to my first oil change very soon...

I'll post pictures just as soon as I get some sunshine.

Best comment so far about my Aggressive Sol, from a driver of a red S2000 in the small town I live near, "I thought I was going to have the coolest car for some time. Now, I know I am wrong!"

Congrats!

Holy smoke! Great news that someone actually got the car earlier than the prediction! Good luck and have a great time driving the car. Maybe before Spring I'll find out how it feels to have one.

And dogboy, congratulations to you too. You should start your own announcement thread when you've picked up your car, let us all share in your joy. And may I have your VIN, city, and state please? Thanks.

I was placed on my dealer's list on 4-22-05. They placed my order in October. I don't know how I got it so quickly, but I was tenth on their list.

I think that a lot of the earlier vin cars are blocked in by later cars. Just an issue of the way they are placed in the yard, I guess. Sorry that you are still waiting.
