HOW CAN I BE SELLING THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!

The clutch and flywheel are broken in and its biting great!! I did a m.p.h. test between two known points and my m.p.h. are up by about 3 m.p.h. now!

I know that doesn't sound like much, but its a lot in reducing time to distance.

Ok....must reason with myself......this car is a modification money pit that can't carry my family....but its ohhhhhhh sooooooo FUN!!!

I know...useless post.

I just put it up for sale and yes I am serious.

Unfortunately.

Minivan...bwahahahaha.....ummmm...but that Odyssey is kind of nice...oh crap..what am I saying.

Actually I am looking for a 4 door sedan...like a WRX, that performs decently.

Oh damn a WRX!! I thought (as checkmate said) you were getting a minivan or something. But a WRX sounds like a good investment. Just don't scare your kids with that thing. Let's atleast keep it in the thirteens.

First Dr. James, now you. And right now I am checking out the Audi TT (used one of course) but I dont think I can get rid of my car yet.

How about the WRX wagon?

Who are you kidding? If you get a WRX, you'll sink just as much money into it as you did the Prelude...

You might as well keep the Prelude. It's just about "done". ...meaning you've upgraded just about everything on it alredy, and there's not really anything major to spend any more money on for it... If you get a new car, the upgrade cycle starts all over again...

You're *saving* money by keeping it!

There's room for 2 kids in the back of the Prelude. Besides, that's what his Accord is for...

Depends on which one weighs less.

I am pretty sure the wagon is going to tip the scales at at least 100 lbs more.

bronx..I wasn't on the road...

I know lots of places that are closed to the public....that I can use....one of which planes use to use...hint..hint.

Racing Code Section covers the roads.

And as far as that goes...there is a HUGE parking lot across from where I work that is closed off now for several auto-x courses there for a ride and drive.

Guess who works there off duty.

Last time SAAB was there I went through there race school, then trounced on one of their 9-5's.

They gave me a SAAB T-shirt for beating everyone else in my group...I was hoping they would give me a car.

BMW holds a great ride and drive there too....you can really test out their M cars then.

Right now Cadillac is using the lot.

I will say this...I don't know of a single person who doesn't or hasn't sped.

Its those who take chances that I worry about.

the WRX is a MUCH better car than the S4, and the WRX wagon moreso than the S4 wagon as well... if not by performance standards all around then by sheer engineering and reliability... the S4's only advantage is a slightly more luxurious interior and nameplate

Awwww man, now you tell me

I got an invitation to test all the cars via Cadillac too, but I'm under 21

Why do they send the crap to me when I can't do it, pisses me off...........

And to make a point, if he DOES get the WRX, the money it throws into mods for the car will make it faster bang for the buck than if he spent it on the Lude.
