New Owner - Octane Blue GSR

I made the 5.5hr. drive down to DeLand, FL and picked her up Saturday morning. She is a brand new Octane Blue GSR. I purchased from RC Hill and got a price of 32k including all fees (excluding tax and finance charge). Sticker was 35.5K. The X only had 6 miles on the odo and has a May build date. The only options are the Sport Interior Package and all-weather floor mats. The 300 mile drive was a killer, torrential rain on I-75 which was filled with accidents. I did my best to vary my speed to follow the break-in procedure in the manual. I got 23 mpg, too. I love the car! I spent all day yesterday getting her cleaned up. Although the interior is a bit cheaply made, I could care less. This is a third car for me and wife and will be our weekend toy. I would post pics but really its just a stock blue GSR...

RC Hill had a ton of Evo's in stock, both new and used, and I saw two pull in for service when I was there. Right after I drove up, another guy was there to buy a red GSR. They really treated me right. Now the fun begins... I've heard some internet rumors that these Evo's respond well to aftermarket parts... Hmmm....

Glad to hear that you varied your speed for the break in a little at least

Congrats on getting the best color

Considering how many people seem to want blue you'd think they'd be a bit easier to find.
