congrats and welcome to the titanium on black manual transmission club. Just a heads up, it may not be your experience but keep an eye on your oil level. I have never seen an oil light come on in 3 years of ownership but I've emptied at least two cases of oil because I've had to add oil in between oil change intervals (poss due to the high highway rpms)
