My New 8!!!!
I came home with my baby last night. We snapped a few pics in a parking garage nearby. I know they're nothing amazing, but I'm still in awe. 
Hope you guys like it.

I hate the mirrors. If you look at my thread from when I was looking at it, I went on and on about how much I hate them. >< Whoever did the wheels didn't do an awful job...but they're now that well done and it irks me.
Otherwise, I love it. Thanks a ton guys.

Wait.. the previous owner was on here before? or are you pulling my chain?
It was originally purchased brand new in Texas. It's in pretty good shape. 55k Miles.

huh..who knows? I don't think I've ever seen it on here. I've been looking for an 8 for over a year now. Haha. I'm probably just going to repaint them all black, I really don't like the silver. I've gotten a lot of compliments on them, but I can't stand them. The rims and the mirrors.. ugh. lol

Congratulations on the car, and welcome to the addiction.
BTW, this guy had a Velocity Red with rims painted similarly, and he's from Texas:

looks like he sold it to this guy:

a couple of years ago, so you're the 3rd owner (assuming it's the same car)

Looks like I could be the 4th owner. O.o There's no black vinyl on the hood, the mirrors have been changed, and he mentions that the suspension isn't stock, but it looks like it is to me. His was also dropped and mine isn't. Hmm... the similarities are amazing though.

And I don't have the wind guard for the sunroof...but these are all things that could have been changed. Did anyone know the mighty red's real name? I have his paperwork. lol
