I'd posted in the buying / ordering thread, but thought I should do the proper thing & post here as well...

I'll be ordering my car within the next couple of weeks - just can't find what I want on a lot anywhere and since I don't have to have a car right this second (I'm keeping my '06 Ridgeline), I'd rather wait and order exactly what I want.

Previous to the Ridgeline I had a Mercedes C-Coupe. Fun little car, but even heavily modded I was only putting out about 255 hp. So this will be a step up. Funny that I've owned two other coupes - the Mercedes and an '86 Integra (Yes, I bought one the year they came out) and they were both light blue. Now I'm ordering a Monterrey Blue Z.

I'm a big racing fan & race karts in the summer (not so much the last couple of years, too busy with work). It's fun where I race since it's so close to Indy we get a lot of IRL drivers that practice and race there. Pretty cool to look over and see you're getting passed by Indy 500 Winner Dan Wheldon or to take a hit from behind and look back and realize it's former F1 driver Eddie Cheever.

Anyway...looks like I'll be hanging around here learning about the 370 for a few months before I actually get mine. Not really 'excited' about getting it yet - guess I've got a few months (4 to 5 to be exact) to let it build...
