Congratulations on the car. The Type R (or any hot hatch for that matter) looks a little pricey once you look at the 400-500hp muscle cars that you can get for the same price. V8 + RWD? yes please! I still love the Type R, but if I was in your position, I can't say that I wouldn't have made the same choice.
Except in my case it would have been a Challenger with the 392.
Now, you have to be really careful pulling out of the parking lot after Cars and Coffee...I wouldn't even risk it...wait until the crowds have dispersed.
