Car is almost here.

Yay!!! I just got called and my car is on a truck coming to me, so it should be done with dealer prep and everything by Thursday, since my car is only about an hour away from the dealership right now!!!! I'm so excited.

I know what you mean. I couldn't sleep last night thinking about this being THE week that I finally get my car and I'm also supposed to find out about my new job tomorrow, too. Big week!!!!

Enjoy your new ride! Don't forget pics.

I get to pick up my new ride (although it isn't an RX8) Thursday as well. I can't wait!

Good luck with the new job

Good luck on the jobfront. I hope sleep comes easier for you than it did me.

I know you are excited, the countdown begins.

I'm one of these high energy hyper people who are very motivated and goal driven so I won't wind down until maybe the weekend. Until then it is very little sleep and all this hyper energy. Of course with the new job I will also be working 80 hours a week at least through the end of this year to make sure I can keep up on all my bills and pay a ways ahead and pay down others. Had my current job not restructured and changed so many things and cut my pay I wouldn't need the second job. It's not a big deal, though. I've done 80 hour weeks before. Good thing I have lots of energy!!!!

With all of that energy, will you be driving the new car to the Rotor Rally in Wenatchee in May?

Depends on it I can fit it into my work schedule. If I can, then probably.

I didn't. If I see the Phantom Blue one I will take a picture, hopefully with the two blues side by side. However, I still won't change my mind and buy that one.

I don't have the paperwork in front of me at this moment but it is in the low $33K range ($400 over invoice for going through Costco), and this would be before any applicable discounts I could get off that price such as first time buyer discount, which I believe is $1500 (at least it was last March when I first seriously started looking and pricing).
