Every single person that I’ve spoken to or they’ve messaged me that got their car and paid the ADM. They don’t regret it, they’ve all said they would do it again without hesitation.

Many of us refuse to do it, for whatever reason and that’s fine, stealerships be damned, we get it but please as soon as someone gets one, all the new threads descend into an ADM discussion.

We’re here for the car not the cost.

I went to Honda Montclair where they have a Champ White which looks to be sold already but just wanted to see the car in person. For sure these vids and pics dont do it justice. The car looks totally different and more awesome in person.
This seems to be a common theme. Can you explain more? Is it just a lot wider in person? Can't wait to stop by a local show room and see for myself!

The color, lines, and detail just pop more in person if that makes any sense. The car definitely has a presence that you cannot fully capture on video/camera and this was just me checking it out from the outside. I didn't even get to check out the interior as in open the door. I am sure it is equally as exhilarating coming from a former FK8 owner.

I think I'll take that deal. I'm #1 in line at a CA dealer for MSRP and #2 at an NC dealer for the same. In my head, the ADM is for the premium of having the car now (I don't want to daily the Miata during the VA winter season).
There's a dealer in CA selling at MSRP? I'm from CA but ended up putting my name #3 for MSRP out in Minnesota. Couldn't find MSRP nearby.

Yessir.

I saw a short on youtube from someone picking up their red type R so I called to confirmed if they paid MSRP. Salesman said yes so I asked to be on the list. Lake Elsinore CA

Poor kid so jealous XD
I don't feel better about paying my ADM. I'm driving it and thinking it deserves more considering how loving this whole experience is ;)
I don't like paying ADM too, so what I did was ran the bill up with Forged wheel and Carbon Wing to make the ADM seem "not so bad" (this will drive people crazy). :p I also don't agree with "making myself feel better" because I do feel better :dance:

here's reminder for all ADM heckler how better I feel :beer:
would feel even better when Yoko AD08's come in :spaz:

Jealous of what? I sold my 2020 R and put the cash in the bank. I'll just let it ride and earn interest until I find an FL5 for MSRP. Did it on my 2020, just takes patience.

DDing my Acty until I find one.

I love my '96 Acty, but I don't think I could make it my only car. It's rough driving it on the highway. Maybe you did something to yours, but mine is AWD and struggles to get over 55mph (and it sure doesn't like getting there) so it's not really a highway vehicle. It's fantastic for what I use it for: hauling lumber, landscaping stuff, furniture or getting around town. But definitely not for drives further than intra-city.

EDIT: So looked it up, no wonder. The 2nd gen top speed is rated for 65 mph, so I've definitely pushed its top speed a few times haha.

I cruise 65-70 on the highway with no problem. The larger/wider 15s help a lot I think.

Man, I told my dealer that I couldn’t care less what color shows up, I’m taking it whatever it is. I think all your posts are making me hope that it’s boost. It’s just jaw-dropping. 😍

MSRP wonder how long that list is right now
I’m still looking for a CW at 10k mark up
Best I’ve seen is 20k pretty much given up at this point
