i really want to try to talk you out of it, but I love mine too much I can't think of a reason why you shouldn't get it. Don't get the red one though because i don't want too many ppl driving it. heehee.
i have Rays' lock nut and I can tell you they are overrated. The red looks good, but after a couple brake change or work done on the car, the paint start chipping so unless you plan to paint them every once a while, just get something nice that you don't mind replacing.
man....I am not sure if the discount is still around, but they had a 200 Mail in rebate a while back. One of my co-worker from newegg bought it and she loves it. We are all sold out though.
congrat man! I would buy my son a car, but he still have 17 years until he can get his license =p
enjoy and make sure you get a walkie talkie to talk to your dad on rides =p
