tucked away in Chicago for the night. Turbo and manual is so much better than the current slow whale.

And the red brick stays in the fold! Saw in another post you made it home with it. Btw Evan if you come across anything weird or something that makes you go, "WTF why would someone do this?" I swear it was not from me. Except the soft black armrest cover. That was all me and I have no regrets! Should have seen the car when I got it from the PO...

I was enjoying that armrest on the way home, much better than the hard plastic/vinyl ones. Made it back with no issues, I think my roommate had a harder time in the white one with no exhaust.

It feels much faster than my previous turbo 740 with automatic. I'm tempted just to leave the drivetrain in it and make it a pickup.

In reply to EvanB:

that was suggested earlier in the thread It would make for an epic $2015 challenge vehicle.

Well my original plan was to use the drivetrain for my white one and put the N/A auto in the red one before converting it to a pickup. Either way it will happen.

(with tomorrow being election day and all)

I'm captdownshift and I approve this message.

Seriously you better build thread, then turn the challenge auto-x course into your own personal drift course. Sure it's not the fastest way around, but the awesome aspect of it would be so worthwhile.

I'm just glad that you ended up with it, and are doing a truck. the warm and fuzzies is strong with this one.
