I just purchased a new Smokey Granite Mica IS F this weekend in Baltimore, and have been loving every second in it. I can't get over the fact that it is practically idling at freeway speeds in 8th gear...no wonder you guys are getting great fuel economy with it on cruise control...and then just a tap on the gas to induce an ear-to-ear grin. Now all I need to do is get another set of wheels and some all season tires before winter.

welcome fellow MD driver if you have any questions on mods hit me up I have a few done (Joe Z intake, TOM's insert, Joe Z exhaust, TRD sway bar, HPS pads not on yet). You'll have to come out with me and Jin when we go out. Speaking of which, Jin if you read this what about this sunday for the car gathering I was talking about. Oh and Im going to 75 80 friday night come join if you like. I hear they repaved the track so I'm going to go pee it out. If the tracks good Im running.

I'll hit you up if I have any questions. I am planning on trying to keep it stock for a while...we'll see how well that plan holds up.

Cool let us know how you like the track. That's probably the only one in the area I've yet to visit.

I'll let you know its the only one I haven't been to as well. I've heard horror stories about that place but apparently its a brand new track so we'll see. I'll keep you updated. If the drives not too far you might have to join me one time. Also let me know if your ever at MIR and I'll try to get down there.
