Got a new car...
I didn't think I was gonna leave the Honda/Acura family, but I had to. 
I traded my CL with my brothers 2004.5 Volkswagen Jetta GLI. It's not a BMW, but it's as close as I'll get to one anytime soon. It's got 18" BBS RC wheels, Recaro seats, Eibach springs, Audi TT brakes...well here's the list...
It's all stock. I love the computer. Tells you how far you've driven, how long you've been driving, how many miles till you're empty, average MPH and average MPG. It also has traction control, stability control and an electronic differential. But the best part is the 6mt. 
OH...and it's so easy to modify. A $500 chip will boost it to 220 to the wheels.
The driving feel is amazing. It doesn't feel like a FWD like the CL does. It's not all front heavy and I feel so connected to the road.
Here's some crappy camera pictures. I'll take some good ones soon...
Here's some pictures of another car, but it's a twin cause both are stock...
Bye Bye Bitches.
And
to those that will balk at VW reliability.
I'm so happy...
