    Shit. Missed this. A non svt has to be the 2.3 five speed for me to want it. There was a clean 100 thousand mile 2.3/5 speed wagon in vegas a few weeks ago. 4000 or I'd have bought it.

    Current pics....fast hasn't been part of the equation as far as calendar days are concerned. 20180923_112908.jpg 20180923_112855.jpg image000000_13.jpg Now I have to get started swapping the dash and roof pillar trim in the interior. No time to do it just yet

    Did I mention my knee was on fire but I pressure washed the driveway, put up hooks for our bikes so I could park the orange one in the garage while I gather parts to redo it for the wife. And I swapped a Lexus suv led chmsl (brake light) into it this weekend. The orange one is saying "Mr. Mr....get me outta here" Screenshot_2018-11-18-13-02-24.png image000000_16.jpg
