It's not you, it's me!

This thread is strong enough to come back from a minor side rail switch!
No I was running the stock engine. It was just beefed up a bit.

what I meant was did you have a 3000gt vr4, considering you had 7 dsm cars. I guess not

Gave her a nice clean wash and wax after some not so lovely weather. Also purchased a K&N drop in filter.

Applied a set of pre-cut tint. 50% is Minnesota's legal limit, so that's what I went with.

Good-looking car you have! I actually thought somebody stole mine once when I was commuting home on my motorcycle. Same color, similar license plate relocator. I was alarmed, but once I arrived home, I was relieved.

I have never seen another and may not have a chance as they are pretty scarce around here.
Think it is the mud flaps that really caught my attention cuz' although they are standard here you don't see them often on the U.S. cars.

I wish more cars came with them. With all the lifted trucks in California, I have to drive a ways away from most cars to avoid getting washed with mud and dirt. Especially when it rains.

Ironically I feel they make things worse in the slush and snow here. Sure they keep the sides of the car 2% cleaner but they also hold everything up in the wheel well where it freezes to a rock hard substance that is almost impossible to get out.
I had to stop 3 times on my two hour commute today just to clear my wheel wells so that the car didn't shake like I was in high orbit re entry!

Yeah, I wish they did a better job of keeping the sides clean. I've considered changing them over to a RallyArmor set, but I'm not sure it's worth it. You can see the side covered in gravel dust from this summer in my build thread.
