Hello!

I've been lurking here for the past week doing a little research here and there. I come from the world of Subarus, but now the wife has another bump which means we need an extra seat - so why not splurge a little? Just picked up my R tonight - obligatory twilight photo in sig, but I'll have better ones if I wake up early enough one day.

Sadly, this thing is cheaper to finance than when we had both the Subaru notes going!

After reading the production numbers thread the other day, I guess there aren't too many R63 meets, eh?

Overpaid at EuroMotors in MD for 46 and change. Wife saw their price sheet and they apparently bought it for about 30k. I debated flying to MN - there's an Alpine Rain there for 43.9, but it's not CPO (yet?).

I've now got just a hair under 50k (picked it up with about 48.4). I try to drive it only 3-4 days a week, but this past weekend I took the family for a longer trip just for kicks. I'll post a few more pix when I've got time to take some nice ones. Hard to wake up earlier to get those sunrise pix these days.
