Here's a few pictures I snapped before heading into work after a quick interior / exterior detail.
As far as driving impressions, it couldn't be any more opposite than my S2000 (which is why I absolutely love it so far).
The steering is a bit numb, shifter throws are long, it's extremely quiet, has ungodly torque for a small tune with no breather mods, tons of room, comfortable seats (back seat
), timeless lines and of course fog lights, luxury 
I know I won't stfu about the torque, but I've never had a turbo car... Let alone a car with 2. You can pass people like they're standing still in every gear as long as you're between 3-5k. Boost tapers off at 5k and boost drops to around 10-11psi.

Your stable is literally perfect.
I won't start modding until the bare essentials are fixed. My headliner flaps in the wind like you wouldn't believe

I do like the wood though...I like how it's a natural element in such a precision and cold machine. Leave it!
Thanks, man...I appreciate that. I do love my cars. I just want all a da cars!
Chad, I know it, man...I never get the vanity plates, just the specialized ones.

nah bro. sweidit. 
Is it real wood or plastic? If it's real, might be cool to just sand off the clear coat and finish with a matte coat. Would look sweet that way.

The wood trim is plastic but it doesn't really bother me that much
Any money going into this thing will be preemptive maintenance / more power. Exhaust / breather mods will be first

As it sits right now (4x4), it scrapes on my driveway with my S parked in the garage - entry way is super narrow.

Gotta figure out a plan with that one

Just make sure your AAA membership is paid up in case you need a tow to get the rest of the way there.

I'm confident it'll make it up to LA...


Looking forward to the shoot!
I'm going to recoop costs a bit, register the car, and get the headliner done in the next couple of weeks.
Stay tuned!
Nice pick up! Those are great cars. My friend has one that I shot a couple months ago. I can't wait to see what you do with yours.
