New Rx8 R3
Just had my new 2009 R3 delivered today via FedEx. Very very happy, and a worthy successor to the 2004 I had to leave a few years ago.

And a big shout out to RiderCoach Lar for checking the car out for me in Chicago. Couldn't have done it without you!

FedEx delivers cars? Do you get a 1 or 2-day option? BTW, nice car!

Glad to see the car's finally in your driveway, Psylence! I can only imagine the feeling when that truck finally showed up. It probably took you less than a mile to realize just how worthwhile that wait was.

Enjoy that hot ride, my friend. I'm glad to have helped.

On the drive home from work I was giggling to myself as I tossed her through the corners. The R3 handles a LOT better than my old 2004. And the seats..

Break in miles are killing me, but it will all be worth it soon. And I'm not gonna let this one slip away like the last.

And FedEx/Passport vehicle transport? Utterly and totally FTW. Picked up friday in Chicago and dropped off Sunday morning. Could not ask for better service and support from those guys.

Seeya round the forums/meets all!

I can only imagine how hard (and expensive) it would be to buy an R3 in Canada and bring it across...
