Due Date

[octothorpe]

I just found out my car will be born on July 17th. It will then make its way to the US from Japan.

My car will be 1 of 10 in the world with my specific model year, trim, colour, and options level.

I'm gonna be a dad!

Pics of the car are here:

Dare I ask what it is about your specific combination that makes it so rare?

Carbon Grey Pearl exterior (not very popular, but I love it --even better than black)

plus

Quartz Interior (most people want black leather interior with CGP)

plus

6spd manual (I don't drive automatics)

plus

Navigation

It doesn't sound very impressive, but it's a combination that invokes a white elephant.

Ah, I see... I suppose it's really the fact you wanted a real transmission that is the kicker. ;)

The only kind of automatic I'd ever consent to drive would be a CVT, like the one in the Asian and Euro Fit/Jazz - for the geek factor, and because it has a mode where it emulates a 7-speed paddle-shift manual. ;)

I've noticed that I've become a lot less interested in "performance" when it comes to my car since I got my motorcycle.... *grin*
