Can't believe I just saw this thread. Congratulations on the car, and I'm so happy it worked out well for you. Glad you stuck with the fastest color, silver!

I've loved the Genesis since they first came out. Ron's very interested in it when the Acura needs trading in; could be soon. I can definitely get behind that! Beautiful car.

Who are you.... and do I know you from somewhere?

Excluding the engine locking up... I love this car..... the 3.8 has lots of power... handles really good.... and the Genesis group has two Dragon events a year!

Right now, there are only 3 unsold 2013 3.8 track manual tranny's in the US..... Probably be at least 6-8 weeks before more are around...

Plant is being relocated and the union is going on strike...

But then Ron... probably wants a auto tranny,,... in his advanced years!

Ron' sgoing to really step on my clean shoes next time he sees me!

I'm not sure exactly what Ron might do the next time he sees you, but for some reason he just went out to scuff up his shoes in the fire pit.

BTW, we went to a Cars and Coffee today with some of the Carolina peeps and I ran into a few of your Genesis breatheren. They informed me that you were already pretty active on their forum and thought you sounded like a "nice guy". Boy did I put that notion to rest right away. . We DID get to see a 3.8 Track version Nd all I can say is WOW!

Just remember you are not allowed to skip the S2000 meets so just plan on extra Dragon trips.

Tell Ron to stay away from him,.... I'm still having nightmares from our last meeting!

Hey, give those Genesis folks a positive review of me.... don't let them talk to Ron!

Don't worry...... my hear lies with the S2000 group at the Dragon! Any Genesis trips will be extra times down there!

I keep reading that you "finally pulled the trigger". What are you aiming at and why do you keep missing. Do you need any help pointing that thing, what ever it is?

Scoots, I hope to spend some time in your (and Patty's) company in Colorado. I love your sense of humor.

Actually 521... it died at 1,234... not the 1,400 I originally said (that was a guess).
