I was in the pipeline with a certain dealer for a stratosphere manual for months only to have greedy dealer games have it fall through last minute. But, boy was I lucky and secured a nocturnal 2025 manual the next day. Flew down to SoCal and road tripped back home to NorCal. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Lots of plans for this guy down the line, but just enjoying the out of the gate performance for now. I have a lot of thoughts on this car that I may post in another dedicated thread. But for now, thank yall for welcoming me as I’ve already had some positive interactions on here even before getting the car. Excited to share the cool build

Congrats, noob. It's about damn time. We were sitting here waiting on you. Since you've already dipped your foot into the pool - I assume you know there are things to remember. Here they are just in case no one else told you.

Things to remember:
1. Ask @zrk
2. @Jesse DaBears can do that
3. Yes, your post 6/20 ECU will go to FEMTO. Click here.
4. In two weeks

Your mom is my ride
Welcome welcome, glad to see another manual. Have fun with the 10 million dollar a year registration fees in California! I kid I kid it's only 1 million a year.
