345HP in that little car is impressive but man, its still a hatch back. A $38,000 hatchback.
I used to be the same way. Then my ex bought a '08 Mazda 3. It was a blast to throw around but it needed another 100 hp to be fun. I bought the Speed3 and that shit is fun as fuck to drive. It handles great. It's got a peppy little motor.
Now, I'm hooked on small, light, agile, high horsepower cars. They're so fun as a daily driver. [Reply]

No idea. Didn't know it was scraped until a week or so ago. Need to call the insurance company and get it taken care of.

I just sprayed Garry Deans detail juice on the microfiber towel and wiped the surfaces off, Wasn't a lot there. The car is approaching 5000 miles but still pretty clean under the hood. [Reply]

Seal between windshield frame and tub maybe?
If you don't drop the windshield that's probably something that never gets checked. [Reply]

Part of the "deal" of getting my VW was the included oil changes up to 30k miles.
Now? I bring it on to the shop and my 44+ MPG on the highway gets dinged the moment I drive it off the lot. That was my sole reason for getting a VW over a GM or other import: the advantage diesel gets in efficiency. [Reply]

I ended up winning the best in class award. Best car there from 2008 to present. They announced it was their biggest show ever. Looked to be at least 200 cars in the show. The SPS beat out the 5.0/Roush Pony's, Corvettes, Cameros etc.
I just missed the best in show award because I scraped a rim sometime and I need to get it fixed. These car show guys love the Scat Pack Shaker.
The judges told me that they like originality and stock. Don't focus on custom add-ons. Judges army swayed. True or not?
Yes, lewdog, I cleaned it up myself. Vacuumed, wiped it down, wash, detailed the engine and trunk.
So basically you buy this new green car, leave it stock, wash it, enter it in a show, win your class and come in 2nd for best of show??? Small show? :-)
No way that happens in any show I've ever been involved with... Congrats! [Reply]

Dude, I've seen that happen too many times. [Reply]

I don’t mind cleaning and polishing Mrs. Radar’s ’57 and sitting in the sun all day to not win anything but it is a bit annoying when I do and a brand fucking new Camaro, straight off the showroom floor with nothing special at all done to it does win an award. [Reply]

I've seen it happen. Or when a new Roush Mustang beats out a $100K Restomod..... (San Diego Mustangs by the Bay, I'm looking at YOU. And i voted for the restomod FYI....) [Reply]
