I pulled the trigger, I just have to revert the 550 to stock before returning it. Hopefully I can get it done Monday or Tuesday and pick up the M Wednesday. Pics and slightly used mods to follow.
I am out of town this week, but I will be down to get my ride soon. LOL. Good for you! Congrats man!

that is really a question only you could answer. when i took on a $600 a month car payment, It was a huge step for me. my first adult car to go with my first adult job. i previously drove a paid off 99 maxima for 5 years. I could not IMAGINE paying $800 a month for a lease although I probably could. it really depends on yoru budget and your responsibilites. I do well for myself and am a single guy. you need to take in to account property you may own, wife, kids, credit card debt, other car payments, is your job affected by the economy, can you handle gas prices when the a 4+ a gallon again?
I am not trying to talk you out of it, but if you are on here asking for input with regards to $200 dollars, i think it is fair for us to point out some potential fiscal downfalls. keep in mind, 200 bucks is a car payment on a civic. it is also only $2500 bucks a year which is nothing. you could look at this either way...
that all being said, I hope you do decide to get it because that sounds like an incredible car. it is a shame it is just sitting at the dealership all lonely with nobody to love it
