Vehicle Overview
I'm the original owner of the car, factory ordered the car in October of 2006, and took delivery in December of 2008 (there was a huge backlog in orders). The car has Chili Red exterior paint, with matching interior pieces in Chili Red, and the rare Chrono package (where the speedo is moved next to the tach, above the steering wheel; normally the speedo is in the middle of the dash). I drove this car in high school and college, and now I’d like to try and keep it forever.

Future Plans
Future plans include a laundry list of maintenance items. The eventual plan is to have a very very reliable DD, but also to autocross the car a few times a year.
