    It's good that you're enjoying the new ride. That's how it should be.

    Speaking of exhaust, mine cost a pretty penny. I mean - A LOT. If I told people how much I spent for a full turbo back, people would probably think I'm mad, stupid, or both.

Its kinda cool to do a mod and enjoy it for a while and then look forward to the next one, renews the car everytime you do it. I will admit that my budget also makes me do this but because of this I do appreciate mods more when I do them this way.

    Hahaha but then you get into the "I will never be done" mindset :P

    My new truck stayed stock for 2 months. Although I am dragging out the mods month by month on mine.

    Exhaust systems do cost a lot of money, I paid $1500 for a 3" downpipe and SS Pitbull exhaust for my GN back in the day but that was circa 1997, LOL!

    Way down the road I could see swapping in an upgraded downpipe on my car but other than that I don't wanna mess with the exhaust, it sounds soooo good! I'll probably add a turbo timer to be on the safe side, although the car already has a built in system after you shut it off to keep the turbo safe.

    @klasse sometimes I just get in where I fit in...even 65 mph in snow. I've got close to 2000 miles of snow under my wheels this season.

    @Brutal hooked on vaping but I have to admit that I bought a few packs recently after I acquired a dangerous co driver that I recently had to put on a greyhound for Delaware while in Buffalo. First homicidal thoughts I've had in a long time. Dude actually shut the interstate down on two occasions...sorry excuse, but real story.

    There is a UPS facility of Busse, Busse goes all over the place, stops here, starts there, LOL! IIRC One UPS Way is Hodgkins.

    You're right. I was thinking of either 500 or 800 Busse rd...much smaller facility.

    I move a lot out of Hodgkins and EGV~ both UPS and FedEx.
    Whichever vehicle you pick will definitely be impeccable.

    I've done a couple little mods to the car already. First mod were the WeatherTech's, next was a red nylon pull down strap for the hatch, then my buddy installed MUCH NEEDED LED's in the maplights. Today the stubby antenna arrives, so that will go on tonight after work.

    In the next couple weeks I'll be ordering the Euro Compulsion short ram intake and I'm also considering not only adding yellow bulbs for my projector fogs but also adding yellow bulbs to my headlights, non HIDs.

    Future mods also include a leather shiftboot w/red stitching to match the steering wheel, shiftknob and e-brake handle. Might change out the shiftknob too. Tried to get a cueball shiftknob but because my car has a weird shiftrod where the knob actually bolts down from the top that's not going to work sadly. I had a real cueball on my MINI and loved it. I like doing a lot of little mods, they add up!
