That hasn't stopped Creto... In any case with the little I need a car that Jen can drive in case we need to do a vehicle swap for whatever reason. I've tried teaching her and have failed and honestly I am not sure is road aware enough to drive a manual.

Congrats Thomas! On the car AND on the $8k offer... I actually got on the forum to look at prices on 8's, that makes me hopeful...kinda... the $5k would have made ME feel a little better, but I'm very happy for YOU. Haha, yay!

And he's proven time and time again he knows how to drive it. We were just about to let you into the A+ group with the manual...now you'll have to start all over. Haha!

Congrats on the car! I'm quite jealous. When are you supposed to get it?

^^Bahah. I had someone call my car ugly one time (it had the bike rack ontop)
She had a gray series II, auto, dirty, no tint, fuzzy **** from the mirror, no drop, stock except for garish accessories)

P.S. I should have my new wheels tomorrow :D!!






OH, and congrats on the $8K offer T. That's pretty good especially if they have looked at the fenders.

Yeah, KBB says it should be 9k in fair condition. I may try to take it a few other places just to see if I could get more, cuse heck why not right?

As far the actual purchase of the new one, nothing is confirmed yet. I was easily approved at BofA, but apparently they dont do auto loans to non-franchise dealerships which is really gay.

Contacted Fort Worth Community Credit Union, but they said my app needs to be reviewed for some strange reason *shrug* guess I made a mistake on the app or they have more stringent standards. Don't know whats up since my credit score should be around 750.

Wow, I didn't realize you guys didn't have any S2's. Nice ride man!

We have 3 VR R3's, a Black 10' GT, VR 10' Sport, and a 09' Gold Touring.

Okay I'm a little late on defending myself here but Nick, that is NOT how it was. And honestly, that was Joe's first meet too and HE came back for more! Maybe Miguel just couldn't handle the crowd.

I didn't say it was UGLY, I said I didn't like it as much as I liked mine. Kinda like your wheels...but you sport them anyway. Wanna know why? Cuz F&*% what ANGELA thinks!!

See? You can handle the crowd.

Geez, SOMEONE'S gotta weed out the ones without thick enough skin...why not me? (Do I hear a that's-what-she-said joke in there?)

I took the reflectors out of mine, and badly scratched one on the inside (though you couldnt tell if you looked at it). I'm restoring the 8 to stock before I sell it so I will sell the clears and audio adapter when I do so.

They leaked after the wreck...they looked perfectly in tact and unharmed but they were pretty damaged. I mean, that was to be expected. I guess. I really need to update my stuff, that was put on there two years ago, haha. Btw, tomorrow would have been Scarlet's fourth birthday. Sigh. Fml.

Kousei (my car) almost joined Scarlet this morning. On my way to the bank to sign loan papers someone in downtown ran a red light. Only way I saw it in time was because I saw the red light camera flash, and then the huge SUV barring down on me.

Then because I told the union I'd be putting 5 down I had to walk a block to BofA to get cash so the whole 20k could be wired to the dealer. Carrying 5 grand in cash down town is not how I like to get my kicks...
