Just bought mine :-) 2005 with less than 13000 miles. Love it! It was a birthday present from my wife. Haven't had this much fun driving in a very long time

Don't meet up with the Seattle crew unless you have a few extra thousand dollars laying around. I'll tell you first hand you will say, "oh I just want an exhaust", then it becomes everything else.....this is why im broke, in Iraq, and still buying parts for my car sitting at home.

BTW welcome!

Jeeze Scott, drive more! I'm catching up I'll be clicking over 20,000 this weekend, most likely at or on my way to an autocross

Welcome Rodney! Update your location and if you're near Seattle, come hang out some time... though Erik is probably right, you'll end up wanting to mod the crap out of your car

Typo, mine's actually an 04, not 05. I'm in Vancouver WA but work across the river in Portland. Most likely gonna keep it stock. My 8 year old son has already called dibs on the car when he starts driving in 7 or 8 years. I'll take some pics this weekend and upload them.

Thanks for all the welcomes
