If you're looking at 5-spd SE's now I might hold out a bit longer, unless the deal feels right. I think there might be more options available to you. Regardless, best of luck!

BTW - anyone hear from Ryan? I think he had some surgery yesterday and wondered if he made it through okay.

The 5 vs. 6 speed thing used to bug me, as I wanted a 6 speed when I bought mine new. It cost an additional $7k on the price of the car I couldn't justify at the time. Thru these forums and the gods of ER, it's funny, the 6 speeds are significantly weaker so in the end I think it turned out for the best to have the 5 speed after all.

kinda depend on what power goals you have for the car and what you do with it, be it autox, drag, road course...etc etc.

I'm plenty happy with my weak 6spd hahaha!

Nevermind. It's older. But you can do a car search on carfax.com and get some info about them there. You can at least see some of the carfax info about the cars there. - Sis

^hehe, ain't the first time it has happened, and likely not the last.

BTW - I wasn't sure what R.K was going under for, especially since I've been out recently and didn't have a chance to axe him. I assumed it was an enlargement/augmentation. It wouldn't surprise me if he came back with a couple c-cups so he could take the edge off by fondling hisself!

BBY is a nice color. It'd be nicer with a lip, but I suppose that helps during snowboard season.

If you aren't so set on a 6-spd anymore you should check out R/TErnie's Tarmac Black IX (I think GSR) in the NW marketplace. He has an extremely nice and well taken care of car. Plenty of people on here (myself included) would vouch for him and his car.

Ouch low blow

It wasnt my fault I got ran off the road @ 70mph straight up a dirt embankment!

its ok though I get better clearance this way

I actually went to belkirk and they wanted to charge me $900 to fix the bumper?! all it needs is the little tear to be molded over and blended $900 will get me cams and a tune so I walked away
