roof rack was only ever on the car during winter for skiing. It only ever got used for 2 ski trips. Luckily it fits the TSX so it might show up on it sometime but with a bike mount instead.

Never did get my old BMX bike that was almost the same blue on top of the F. That would have been cool.

I either missed it or forgot it, but I didn't realize it was a Vagon.

It is extremely quick. Still getting used to the viewing perspective out of the car. Is is a good bit different out of the F. Much more restrictive so I haven't pushed the car too hard especially in tight areas. Pleasantly surprised by the Bose stereo. Compared to a lot of Bose stereos I have heard in other GM cars it is a lot better.

Also the factory ride height is not as bad as I expected. I should be able to get the look I want without using coils hopefully.

However. My first mod will be to remove the dealership badge the previous owner didn't remove.

It always had to be a wagon. Only reason getting rid of IS-F is I have 4 dogs and just can't have them all in there I needed more space.

Definitely will be. Is going to have to wait till the end of the month for a full detail though. Just too much going on till then.

I love the yellow calipers.

Yeah it has some swirls so the DA will need to come out. Also need to get a touchup pen to fill in some rock chips.

It looks great! I love the yellow calipers with the black.

That said, I know you can do better than a parking lot pic

Yes still with her. She is too happy about it cause I bought another car and still haven't bought her something.

No big plans right now. Maybe some springs and some spacers to make the wheels flush.

Might do some more later on but not really sure what direction I want to go. Wish someone made a full lip kit in carbon like the kit I had on the IS-F. Possibly some wheels at sometime but I actually really like the stock wheels.

It already has an exhaust but it isn't really loud enough for me. You don't hear any low rumble in the car while driving at all unless you really push it. Might just be the supercharger while covers up the sound. I do miss that in the IS-F even at low speeds I could hear the exhaust. Is nice having no drone though.

Well yeah I was trying to get back as my dad was in town for the holiday weekend. Better pictures will come at some point. Probably after I give it a full bath some weekend.

Depends on what you call small. 50lbs, 42lbs, 33lbs, and 24lbs. They all snuggle in back there.

Sounds like a collection of nesting dogs..

The Vagon should be plenty roomy for the bunch.

More room than the F but less room than my parents Tahoe I had been borrowing since it had become too much for in the F. I think they did fine in it yesterday on the first test run. So enjoyable to have such a fun to drive car and take everything I need on road trips with the gang.

Need to figure out if there are any louder exhausts that don't have drone at a cruising speed of 70-75 as this Corsa is just not cutting it for me compared to the F.
