    I intend on enjoying it :P
    As for thrashing the car - it's possible, but it seems to be all good mechanically - and now I get to baby it. That said, if anything does go wrong, I either deal with it or make a warranty claim - too late for anything else now.

        Yeah, I'll book it in once I get my hands on it. Was planning on and oil change and what not right away anyway.

          Your a fussy person like me. I don't even get in and out of the car without being paranoid about collapsing my bolsters over time. It's a struggle but it's worth it.

            Haha, funny - I was worried about that. I'm even considering buying a new center console, just because this one has a scratch or two.

                Type R console is a drop in replacement for Type S console, right?

                  I hate this - such an effort to not wreck my DC2R's bolsters

                  Scratch on the indicator shroud... might have to replace it.

                    the rips on the shift boot is prob due to trashing and shifting the car

                          Sounds like the Type S has had a hard life. As tinkerbell suggested.. Definitely thrashed!! LoL

                              The car sounds like it was thrashed and not loved like it should have been...

                                I changed mine after buying car at 30k km. The old lady that had owed it previously had worn it down by getting her wedding ring rubbing against it.
