Default Traded my 02 for a 06

Well long story short, i decided to trade in my 02 s2k for a 06.. there are lots of reasons... and one of them was getting it for $30,899

anyway, i am VERY surprised at how differently the car performs... i knew it had more torque.. but i am just so amazed at how much sooner you get it.. esp on the highway... i find myself downshifting less.. not that i had a problem with it before,
just kinda cool.. i have not really gotten on it or vtec'ed it yet, so i cant comment too much there, so ill have to get back to you

handling is very different to me.. i haven

oh i almost forgot!
sorry for the horrible cell phone pic...


another thing.. i was originally going to sell my 06 rims, and put my old Enkeis back on... but after i lowered my 06 last night (its stock in that pic) these 06 rims have REALLY grown on me... and i think ive decided to keep them..

At least let it go through the break-in period.

You probably have better gas mileage due to the fact you have not vtec'd it since you're breaking it in.

Not havent to downshift on the freeway is pretty great... ....but its hard to cruise if you have a long drive.... anyway congrats on the 06 purchase ..... after break in it becomes even greater .... any plans for ur GPW???
