Mini-mod weekend (well of the japanese sort). At least it was a break from house shopping
Clear corners, Phillip Silverstone bulbs at all four corners, and aluminum side strakes installed.
Little details that brought out the color of this car. Pictures don't do the Black Cherry Pearl justice.

Re: (long) >>>
Robert,
: ( It's an auto. However, with that said, the car drives and handles great. very neutral. Even though it's an Auto, once you get it going, it's easy to keep it in the power band with 8k before redline and torque throughout. Plus the car is extremely light. Just a 1.3 liter engine that sits at the back of the engine bay.
A great plus to it is that it handles great, In manual form it is a great daily driver practical sports car. In auto form its a great sport family sedan. What's crazy is that I'm comfortable in the rear seat (5'11) with a 5'9 driver up front (note: she's not 5'9. With her in a front seat, you could get a 6'2+ person in the rear seat.)
A guy AutoX'd a stock one in STL and always did well. Great car. The newer ones 06+ have a three rotor set up across the board with addl tq down low.
Only downsides to the car is that you have to be into maintaining your car. checking oil regularly. Adding oil if needed. The rotors only use dino oil (synthetic need not apply; not even blends). The rotor tend to drink a lot of gas too. Stay into the throttle and MPG will drop dramtically. You can actually see the needle move on agressive driving days.
Good thing is shawty is a car person and she checks and adds her own oil. She's into mods and don't mind learning how to work on her car by getting her hands dirty.
