New GS Owner
Hello and thank you for allowing me to join. I am a first time vet owner, found a nice 2011 Grand Sport 6mt coupe, bone stock. Excited to start learning about a new platform. Came from Subies, so this is all new to me.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! The comment about winter storage isn't far off. Trying to get all the miles in before she goes in for hibernation. I'll likely drive it till they salt the roads, I like to drive my cars. She needs tires, so getting my last use out of this set....if you know what I mean.
