http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-...1%7C240%3A1318

I just love this car...and the guy who sold it to me was really cool. Way more fun than the 08 m3 I had, and my wife has a minivan (06 Odyssey paid for), and I saved ~around 16-18k!

Now I get to drive her 02 accord v6 as a daily and use this for fun.

Yep them stickies are coming off. Should I use a hair dryer and some wd-40? The white feels like instant spool. Nice whir sound and a linear pull reminiscent of my 08 m3 coupe, except for the fact that I don't have to wait til 8k rpms to get a rush. I really love this damn car. I actually smiled when I saw it and I did'nt even do that with the m. I love fi awd cars. Rally cars, to me, are so much more fun than any other beasts. Be they rwd or fwd. nimbleness and quick ftmfw!

Hair dryer will do just fine there no feeling like a turbo i use to have a b6s4 with a stage 5 milltek with awe combo and the evo is more fun to drive.
