I picked her up yesterday! I didn't get home until super late (driving 924 miles in a day sucks), but I took off work today and I'm going to go out for a fun drive in the twistys and hopefully have time to get some pics.

I forgot to mention that I got about 38 MPG average on the way home, which isn't bad since I was driving 75 the whole way into the wind through very hilly landscape. I took it out for a quick backroads drive today and got 35 MPG under very spirited driving. I love driving this thing. It's almost all the fun of my old manual Del Sol with all the practicality of my old Fit. I gave it a quick wash today too, mostly because the front was completely covered in bugs from the trip home. I may take some proper pics later, but it's getting up to 90 degrees here today, so maybe not! Here's a quick pic from when I picked it up at the dealership. The sunroof visor was added by mistake, so they included it for free. I promptly removed it when I got home. I'll probably just sell it cheap to someone local.

SheepN, another elegant looking blue. Definitely worth the 900+miles to get her. Like the results of 35mpg under spirited driving. Enjoy your day off and will be looking forward to more pics in the future. Keep on posting!!!

Here's another shot. I was driving to a nice scenic spot to take pictures, but a big storm cloud made me turn away after the first sprinkle hit my newly washed car. I just pulled over in a parking lot to get this shot on the way home. Name:  EsoMHe4.jpg
