Meet Roland my new son!!!

So I picked him up today. Man that 2 weeks was long not as long as most of you have waited but still. The reason it was only two weeks is because they had one on order that was almost exactly like the one I wanted. So they said they would sell it to me at the same lower price as my order... SOLD American. So I got 800 off.

I am new to this whole manual shifting so one of the guys walked with me of the lot. I got 40 mile already and it would have been more if i didn't have to go back to work. I am getting better aka not stalling at every light. I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow. I love driving this car.

Hooray for Roland! That's awesome you were able to get him so quickly! Now if I could somehow shorten the wait for my week 39 MINI that would be great.
