Well I do chirp the tires on occasion but the rest is true. I bought it as a nice inexpensive commuter coupe with no delusions of it being a race car wanttabe.


People here seem to think this place represents the majority of owners of these cars. We do not. We are the minority. The more people are into modding, tracking, or actual racing they get the further they spiral down into the sub niche abyss.
