Default Thanks Colin!

Thank you for the use of your car
It would have been a pain in the butt to catch The Bus or beg for rides everywhere while I'm waiting for my car to get out of the paint shop.
I like how you can actually hear the stereo while you're driving

My fears are confirmed though: now that my wife has ridden in this s2k, she misses the comfortable ride (and ride height) and quiet interior and said I should change my car back to stock (is she crazy? )

I think the car is driving pretty funny, do you agree?

I think it's hard to compare my car to yours. My car has some crazy camber and caster, so it already likes to follow the grooves in the road and suddenly dart one direction or the other, so your car feels fine. It does feel down on power though. In normal day to day driving in my car, I'm usually fartin' around at 2500-3500 rpm with no problems. In your car, I really feel like you have to rev it about 1000 more rpm to feel the same going power. It is a marked difference.
If I kept it the same rpm range in my car to yours, it would be much louder and attract even more attention.
When I drove Fran's '04, it felt the same as my car in the lower rev range.

Better watch out Stephen, you know Roxanne and I are putting thoughts into your wife's mind. I can see you selling your car very soon.

Oh yeah, Jasmine has calmed down a lot after using some meds to get rid of her eczema. Your wife will have fun with her next time we see her.
