Hey guys! new to forum... will be picking up my 2008 135 manual in a couple hours... learned quite a bit from this forum just by browsing but if theres anything else or any useful important info you guys feel is should know about, pls do share them with me... =) the car has 45,000 miles, clean, and is sedona red (the color went from being my least favorite to my favorite color). got the car for $23,000 plus tax; approx $25k out the door which i thought was a pretty good deal.... what do u guys think?

I was originally looking at the cayman which i still like, but after driving the 135, the cayman was out of the picture! very excited!!!:

btw, i understand this question probably belongs to wheel/tire forum but just wondering if most of you guys stick with the run flat tires when replacing them or do most just buy regular tires and carry a spare....

the cars has brand new run flat tires but im just thinking ahead. im thinking of just buying regular tires plus this http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-18...essor-kit.aspx

good option?
