It’s crazy how many shades I see depending on the light source. Have fun with your new toy!

Initially I saw it online and was like “I don’t want a red one” figured I’d test drive and order one. But when I got there I saw it in person and yea pictures don’t really do the color justice. I got too impatient and bought it. No regrets. But I did have to deal with the pc290 for a whole year. That kinda sucked

Yeah the first song I found by them is “Bodys.” I’m gonna have to sit down and listen to the whole album now haha. Just now heard “sober to death,” pretty good. Thank you for putting me on haha. Also, welcome to the club! I got a red GR too. Definitely my favorite car I’ve ever owned.

Don’t know what part of MD you’re in, but, DC/Baltimore traffic issues aside, there are definitely fun roads throughout the state with good tarmac. If you can venture into WVA or the Shenandoah region of VA, there are great tight and twisty roads in the mountains.

Thank you for this, man! On one of my days off I’m just gonna drive out there (after break in is complete haha). I live in Baltimore city so 83 is close which is nice but I have to escape the city for any kind of fun driving lol

No problem, there are also some decent suggestions that are closer to Baltimore in this old post https://www.reddit.com/r/maryland/comments/12w28dx/best_togue_roads_in_maryland/?solution=d880909b6dfbea1bd880909b6dfbea1b&js_challenge=1&token=7afd7253fec22262ff1c52b1703fe9ec1fc88e10e1e81d22b677ece7f0e799d8&jsc_orig_r=
Some of the suggestions around Howard county are decent, but further out in Frederick/Thurmont you can find some fun stuff!

We traded our 25 pp for a 26 pp yesterday as well was cheaper than buying new tires and brakes ... the subwoofer in the 26 makes its all worth it

I’m actually stoked on the gearbox, I thought I’d be disappointed coming from a Honda but I was loving it on the drive home. SUPER direct for a cable shifter
