OMG I am in love with this car. Everything about it screams fun and excitement. My first time getting on the freeway put a smile on my face that is still plastered there. What a solid machine.

Car looks great, congrats on the your new mini. I love that color combo. Quick question, does the rear wing come up at a certain speed or is their a switch that you click to bring it up.

Marioalex24: Thanks. I was blown away when I saw it in person. I'm super happy. The answer to your question is both. The spoiler comes up at 50mph and retracts at about 35mph. There is also a switch that allows you to raise it whenever you like. But if you are going faster than 50, you can't close it.

Nice car. I think you will really like it. Spoiler actually goes down at 37 MPH.
I love my car so far. About 2800 miles and perfect this far.

Congratulations on a beautiful ride.

I love the coupes. Great color scheme and the stripes look awesome! I can't wait to start to see these getting modded out.

thanks! I was at first worried that the color scheme was going to be too plain, but when I saw it in person I totally fell in love. It really works

Looks great. You're going to have a lot of fun with it.

I thought the spoiler went down at 38 mph!

I think this last wait is the worst. It's almost there and totally worth the wait!!!

Thanks. This is really the first new car that I have been looking forward to to such a huge degree. I it because I ordederd exactly what I wnted rather than pick the closest thing readily available that detroit made?

I was the same way. Except this is my first brand new car period. Ordering exactly what I wanted was the icing on the cake. The wait actually was worth it and weird as it may sound, I like the car even more because of it.
