nice buy!

And here's a for making it out of school with an EE degree in one piece! (I graduated with my BSEE two years ago this month!)

ditto on the brembos tho....I'm pretty sure I am seeing a standard aluminum caliper on the rear there...

Either way, enjoy the new ride!

So they gave you over a 25% interest rate? unless you meant a 60 month deal. Otherwise you got raped on interest. Other than that, nice car. How's the stereo sound? A lot of installers hook aftermarket radios up to bose systems wrong and it sounds... off, for lack of better words. And you got yourself a touring there, just so you know like others have said already. Go back to your shady dealer, tell them to take their 25% interest rate, and shove it up their ***.
