Back in a G!

While my 06 sedan is a total loss, I just picked up an 07 coupe. Diamond graphite, 6MT, nav/premium. Still need to update my sig, haha (may be I'll do it after this post). Glad I didn't install the sways/tie braces before the 06 sedan was hit.

Very stoked to it. While I've taken a manual trans car out of a spin before (and learned most of the technique) as well as ride a motorocycle, 6MT still takes some getting used to. But I'm sure I'll be fine :-)

- Alex

Congrats on your new coupe, Alex. You'll be an old hand on the MT in short time. Enjoy your new ride.

6MT Coupe
Nice choice in color

since my car was totaled and i needed a new one (and didn't want to risk with the beaters). i also wanted a good deal and i knew i'd be paying over top for an 08 g. i thought of going for a 335i, but i opted against it for the same reason (needing to wait for it, over paying, getting a car on its first model year).
