I'm going out of town next weekend so I think I'm out on those, and I highly doubt I'll go on the 14th, but we'll see. Eric, just go to the event on the 14th. I've been to more events where I was the only VQ than with fellow VQ owners and I still had fun.

Looks like the one we used during a tech day a few years ago. Good job on the fender rolling.

You want to trade brakes and suspension?

No insurance stuff still hasn't been completed yet. Should hopefully be done by the end of the week.
Mike, I'm still looking at a few different cats right now. Specifically an 09 wrx hatch, 09 135i and a 2011 5.0 mustang. I feel like i was soiled with my z lol because I'm having a but of a hard time finding something that just makes me feel like omg i have to have this car. Part of that is my budget though and the way that my credit union finances cars. The age of the vehicle is a big determining factor on how long i can finance a car to keep my payments where i want them. So even though i find nice vehicles that are technically in my price range, there age makes it to where i can only finance for two or three years when i may in actuality need five years to keep my payments reasonable.

I think you'd be happier with any of the year model STI's than a wrx I hear that BMW is pretty fun with a Denon chip some coils and track wheels - i'm not a mustang fan -but thats a lot of power indeed - out of those you have picked i'd buy a subaru - but then again i've owned one since 2k6 so i'm a bit bias - the fun thing about the Subaru is its awd, so its different - frustrating, weird fast and different.

370z an option?

also these are coming down in prices too 1998's - 2001's this one was just for reference :0

You don't want to get another genesis?
