Allow myself to introduce...myself ;-)

I'm proud to officially announce that I picked up a MY04 Titanium Grey GT this weekend. 6-Speed, black, 8K miles, and immaculate! Another perk is that she already has the GReddy SP2 catback installed, sounds very mean, btw. Have been loving every moment of it. The "turn-heads" factor is cool too!

A little history...I've been lurking on this board for some time now, doing research on the 8. I've been on the fence deciding between the 8 and the S2000. I chose the 8 because of it's everyday driving practicalities. This will be my daily driver, and I knew that if I want to start a family soon, this car is the perfect compromise.

I look forward to hanging out in this forum and meeting some of you guys one day! Once I steal a digi camera from my girlfriend, I'll post some pics!

Take care!

Congrats and welcome...(the club is having problems right now so be patient)

I too decided on the 8 with a future family in mind...I just went over 1,000 miles and I've loved each and every one of them.

Post pic's soon...

Welcome to the club and congrats on the purchase, yeah the site is a little F'ed right now, but there is a wealth of information within. Only the most bored/addicted/persistant of us are on today

Thanks! Wouldn't have gone with any other color!

I know I missed the Dragon, but when's the next event? Probably not until Spring or when the weather gets better, I imagine.

I'm from Columbus, OH, btw. I'm not sure if the guys in this area are frequent posters, their forum is pretty quiet.

Thanks, good eyes! That is exactly what I was going for. I can't wait to photochop it and do some rendering.

Congratulations; your choice sounds like a very good one for you, and I hope you enjoy your car a great deal.

Now, don't you need either to put the start button in your 8, or change your avatar? :p

LOL! I think I will keep my avatar . Maybe one day when I retire, I'll pick up a sporty two seater convertible. By then, that S will be a vintage and it will still look refined. I like your avatar!
