New Car Owner Checklist

Hi Chaps,

As might see from some other posts, I am waiting for my car to get delivered. Sitting at the port and should be with me in 10 to 15 days.

I thought I will post this here and get some ideas on what are "must do" items on the list of a new owner. Considering how broke I will be in few days, I have to prioritize my budget.

What do you reckon? 1) dashcam? 2) ? 3)?

Cheers and Thank you in advance.
Matt

1) Drive it like you stole it from day 0 2) Drive it some more 3) Probably replace the front tyres because the outer edge wear is horrible

yeah what's with the outer edgeware? My tyres are completely worn out just on the outside, but not inside... kinda weird have never experienced that before.

But then again i never had a proper wheel alignment since new, will do that when i get my tyres over the next few weeks.

Hmmm there are no such things as "must do" different people have different priorities...

I had my car completely detailed and got all my exterior and interior mods lol

Lack of camber and a car that works its front tyres very hard. My outside edges are look pretty sorry for themselves after only 6500km.

Wheels..... I really dislike how the stock rims sit so far inside the fenders. Doesn't look right from some angles. A set of 19's that are flush really set the car off
