i personally wouldn't have traded the 8 for it... kind of a down grade in my eyes. I don't know the situation on getting rid of the 8... but i hope you didn't think you were "upgrading".

Nice car, but, dude. You painted the wheels gold... not just "gold-hued wheel color that looks cool". You painted them REALLY GOLD, like bling bling pimp teeth colored gold.
It's the difference between painting your car canary yellow, and taxi-cab yellow.
Here's an example... it's subtle, but I think it would be worth it to re-shoot them this color.

Yea I love it i couldn't be happier. The 8 was great and all but this is an ok around better car in my eyes. Also the gold looks very gold in the picks but they lie. I'll try and get some pics of what they really look like.I think the gold is perfectly fine

Are you going to mod the MS3? I ran into a modded MS3 the other day, and it did surprisingly well. Sure, I pulled on him, but I'd say his car would probably trap around 104-105 mph. I wish I could have talked to him to see what mods it took to get him there. I bet he was used to taking out stock or lightly modded 350Z's and 05+ Mustang GT's.

I traded my wheels the night before i sold it to another member on here =]
and i changed because something was wrong with the 8. i was getting 13mpg and it wasn't covered under warranty. I also needed more room and the 8 didnt help that at all. I was looking at getting a wrx wagon a forester xt and the ms3. the ms3 was the best choice for me. I already had a fwd a awd and rwd cars so i knew what i was getting into. i dont really track my car so i just wanted a turboed car that got decent mpg was fun to drive and still had room. Its an awesome little car i like driving it a little more then the 8 because of the whole torque factor =]
