I am picking this baby up tomorrow (if the insurance papers go through). The guy at the dealership said, I am 1 of 24 people in Quebec that will have it this year. What is awesome, the previous guy that was going to buy the car, didnt go through with it, seeing he won the lottery.

ST430, I will contact the dealership tomorrow and ask for you 
It has been a crazy day for me. I forgot the insurance and registration at the dealership :/ Plus a guy in his 996 Turbo almost got into an accident, because he was looking at my car and not paying attention.

I lucked out with the license plate. I got 86 in it 
I just wish we could have custom plates in Quebec, I would have loved T86 JDM. I have to say, this car is awesome. It does what I want One thing I found the soundtrack for this car, the one from Drive.
Tomorrow should be fun, my street organized a garage sale. I have a feeling everyone will be looking at the car lol One thing I need too get use to, is that there is no buttons on the steering wheel to control the stereo.

I'll probably keep it stock or add a supercharger (if and when it comes out).

Wrecked FR-S Already

Hey everyone.
I'm the idiot that crashed the FR-S. Not really sure where to begin, so I'll start with how it happened.
I was on my way to lunch with a coworker. There's a right turn I've taken a million times over the past 4 years that's very wide and has huge visibility, and I would sometimes get on the gas a little in my B16-swapped CRX through the turn. I never went over the speed limit, and I only did it if there was absolutely no one else around. Being a FWD, the front tires would break free a little and it would make the turn a bit more fun. Well, before leaving work I decided it would be a good idea to turn off the traction control and try something similar in the FR-S. That was my first mistake. I entered the turn at about 20mph, and halfway through it I got on the gas and I honestly can't remember exactly what happened after that. I remember being extremely surprised and then all of a sudden I was careening for a telephone pole, and then bam. I don't even think I hit the brakes. I must've hit the clutch pedal at some point because the car was still running when I stopped. Both airbags deployed. My passenger said he didn't even touch the airbag, I grazed it a little bit and it felt like I got hit in the face with a soft pillow. I must've been going 15-20mph at the impact. I couldn't believe how much the car just crumpled. I just looked at it and sat on the ground. I can't even describe to you the feeling of seeing it like that. I just wanted to cry.
I'm 24 years old, been driving since 16, and this is my first accident/ticket. I was ticketed for "failure to maintain reasonable control", which honestly was extremely generous given the circumstances. I feel like the world's biggest idiot. I feel like I've shamed myself and done a huge disservice to the community. Sorry just doesn't say enough. I swore I wouldn't be one of those guys everyone was saying would do something stupid and wreck the car and drive up the insurance rates. Now I'm not only that guy, but it seems I'm the _first_ guy. Not exactly the best way to make an impression. I want you guys to know that I truly feel awful about the whole thing. I am truly sorry for letting my fellow FR-S owners down, and through making a complete *** out of myself, I feel I've learned a valuable lesson, albeit a hard one. I know some of you (a lot of you) will hate me, call me an idiot, tell me I shouldn't have even tried anything like that on a public road, etc. And I agree with you 100%. I made a stupid, stupid, irresponsible choice, and now I'm paying for it. I don't think any of you can hate me more than I hate myself.
I hope I can stand as an example of what can happen even at relatively low speeds when you're being stupid. Please for the love of god don't be me. Drive safe, keep traction control on on public roads, and don't try to be Ken Block. Unless you are Ken Block, in which case, keep being awesome.
