So it's possible I could call my salesman tomorrow and he could say "it's still pending" as the truck driver pulls up going "*honk honk* it's a delivery of fun"? That would be a fun surprise just before a small trip! Funny thing: my wife's grandfather can track us on a road trip using nothing...

There is a hole in your plan: The black Honda Civics needed for the heist are on the truck as well ?

Supposedly, these are headed to the US east coast (not my picture). Maybe someone in here! Most likely none are mine (still pending).

Priority Honda Hampton in Virginia if you have a chance! Thanks for everything; your info helped me find the one I want. I definitely owe you a beer or a lunch at least.

If we need some "drama" to hold us over, last night I took my Mustang up to the Honda dealer to look at trade-in value while we wait for my Type R to come in. It seems there is a discrepancy with the mileage reading on the Car Fax. It lists the mileage from the state inspection last week as...

Thanks for the first impressions write-up! I can't wait to hear your updated thoughts after you've had a lot more time/miles in the car. Is there anything that was a pleasant surprise (or weren't expecting to like but do)?

If I get it in time, we have a winter autocross series in our region. There is a Boost Blue FK8 that has starting coming to our events recently. I'll try to set up a same-driver, same day comparison. We don't get many Type R's in our region (he's the 2nd or 3rd I've seen at our events since they...

The Honda builder website listed mine as in transit but my salesman said it's still pending. Possibly, the builder website uses "in-transit" as a blanket statement for it not being at a dealership vs. "in-stock" for when it's physically there? Then again, it's possible my salesman didn't have...

Which Dealer in VB? I talked with Hall Honda and they didn't see anything in the system yet.

I may end up doing that. We're getting close to release so hopefully I'm not left by the wayside by someone at the dealer who isn't [HondaProJason] in the know [\HondaProJason] about a waitlist.

My only complaint against black is that the plastics are also gloss black, so it looks a bit like a cheap $500 paint job where they paint over everything (at least in pictures). If a video of a black FL5 drops somewhere, that may change my mind. Hopefully, it's just just the way they show up...

Anyone in Southeastern Virginia been able to contact a dealer? So far, I've just gotten "No information yet, just contact us" (or similar) over the phone. That might not be a bad thing; it could mean they aren't bothering with a waitlist. However, it could be bad in that you have to be quick...

I may do that today. My last couple cars, I inadvertently sniped them out from under someone. Not sure that will happen with this, but I tend to run into luck sometimes.

I'm not currently on any waitlists at any dealer, mainly due to lack of information on the car. Am I out of luck? Should I start calling some dealers now? Should I wait for pricing? Where's Buttercup? GD Honda, your driving us insane. In 50 years there will be flying cars running off the...

If that is how it's going to work: MSRP Type R's for everyone. MSRP Type R's for everyone. MSRP Type R's for everyone. MSRP Type R's for everyone.

My list does shift around a bit. The Elantra does move in and out of the top list. We had one show up at our region's monthly autocross and it looked pretty good out there. I didn't have the opportunity to drive one, however, so I can't gage it fully. I like the Si a lot, but it just needs...

My main backups are: - GR86/BRZ - GR Corolla - Keep the Mustang and modify it further (even though it's a bit outgunned, it's still fun) Possible backups: - Veloster N - Elantra N - Civic Si - Nissan Z - Classic ITR (it PAINS me to call a car I watched race new in World Challenge a classic) I...
