Hey all, just picked up this 2011 manual base coupe. Still over the moon getting to own the car from the poster on my wall growing up and it's just as fun as I could've ever hoped for.

Justin, congratulations on a great addition to your life. This feeling that you have now? It may lessen a bit, but not much, if at all. I am still head over heels with mine. Enjoy your new baby, as it will be like a dream come true. Actually, even better. Happy cruising!
