I am sad to see it go...

Well, after dropping nearly 6k into this car for repairs, I am still sad to see it go.

Bought in April 2009 with 32k on it

June 2009 New clutch, flywheel, bearings, etc (guessing rich daddy's boy car trying to be on fast and furious - and not knowing how to drive a stick)

July 2010 Replaced shoddy dealer instealed $10 brake pads with cermics and new rotors, calipers, etc.

July 2010 Replaced Dealer installed Eagle RS with over 70k on them (they were like racing slicks - real fun in wisconsin winters, btw) Put on Goodyear F1 All seasons - despite bad reviews on the tire - love em

December 2010 - Coil pack blew out with 80k on car - consequently flooding engine when trying to restart - replaced wires, all coils and plugs

January 2011 - found out blown coil and driving 15 miles on 3 coils blew out cat and found out if your center mounted stock brake light goes out - it screws with abs and traction control ($300 to diagnose and fix) and found out cat and o2 sensors from dealer are over $2000 for OEM.

Starting to nickel and dime me to death (with a 40 gallon garbage bag full of nickels and beating me senseless)

Still I am sad to see it go - great car, no regrets.
