I am picking a WW MR up!
Nice! There are a few that are for sale from here to Utah - which one are you picking up, or is it too early to spill things completely? Congrats, and great color!

Speaking of modifications, my friend installed all 5 of my AEM 30-4400 series gauges 2 on the steering column (boost gauge and wideband,) and 3 with the radio replace kit (fuel pressure, oil pressure and oil temp.) I'll post pics as soon as he takes some lol
Here's a vid including the gauges on the steering column
The shot at the and of the vid is to show the texture differences between the radio relocate and the dash looks really good lol

And here are some pics of the gauges

I have always wondered that too... right above the climate control and on the steering column are the best places to put gauges unless you put them on the A-pillar... but IMO gauges on the A-pillar are kinda rice... lol

Official random WA chat: I just pulled two stitches out of my gums that had apparently gotten partially grown over after the wisdom teeth extraction. It felt very strange, caused lots of bleeding and wasnt very cool at all.

Na, I recovered just fine considering i'm alergic to the pain killers and general anesthesia. The damn stitches were supposed to fall out or disolve, but the gums grew fast enough to trap some material in there.

It has been tickling my cheek for days so I finally pushed hard enough to pick at whatever was tickling.... turned out to be about 1/4" of string..... UGGY!

wiki is correct on this one.... the rs se and mr all have aluminum roofs, the gsr's and ssl's do not... you can check visually, the aluminum roofs have two raised ridges next to the rain gutters on the roof... or just put a magnet to it...

not for arguement sake....
