I know how it feels. I picked up the car in May and is only sitting at 1600 miles. Have been telling my wife to drive it more often so I can do LC.

BTW, are you in the East Bay? I may run into you then, I have a Basalt black on black/Ti.

I factory optioned the rear emblem to Guards Red. A little more expensive than aftermarket, but not really by a whole lot.

The more I look at your car, the more I appreciate the art of ordering and getting something special rather than out of the box. The red/white options are so well integrated! Congrats again!

3,000 mile break in? After about 500 miles I would start having fun!!!!

Don't worry, the breakin isn't *too* gentle. Wouldn't want an oil-burning over-babied car, after all. Those rings need some gas to seat, but I'm keeping the revs below 4200. Sadly, I get about 0.75 seconds of fun before I have to back off the throttle. Needless to say, even with these restrictions the car is still quite a lot faster than anything I've ever driven. I think this driver needs more break-in than the car!
