Some of you guys are funny as hell
@ Rapture - "Clouldn't find a 6MT when I really needed a car" group....
@ CLSSpeedx - I've been there many times with the rough buys but hopefully you got a great deal on it and can put some elbow grease down on it!

I'm not going to lie though, we went to bowling in Southcenter last night (those local to me know what I'm talking about) and I was hella paranoid so I kept going out checking on it. The stock alarm for sure is a concern I've had enough nice cars to be carful enough not to take either the BMW or the CLS to anywhere I''d be sure it's at least at a min be sitting on bricks. Even when we go to Seahawks games, we ride with our friends in their soccer mom minivan lol.

After I graduated from high school, I went into the military for 4 years for college money. Went to school out here, started my career, met my wife, we had our son and the rest is history lol. I do miss some Imo's pizza and freaking White Castles though! Been out in Seattle for almost 13 years.

yeah well i came home after the whidbey island drive to a nice surprise...41-0 seattle nice to see hasselbeck is back in action. got to beat an s2k and a cobalt ss too.

Mad I gave up my ticket to my brother in law but oh well, we're family. I'll tell you though, I had a 99 Eclispe maybe back in 2001. It was just the GS but I spent at the time, a lot for body, wheels and performance. I lived out in Issaquah then. Was driving up I-90 one day and this guy with his girlfriend in his car were trying to race me. I went for it and realized my car was a POS compared to his type s. That dude left me like I was standing still and I had a turbo upgrade. I've always loved this model and consider it one of the few classic looks. I've never seen one modified though.
I wish I could've seen you take that s2k and the cobalt ss. I can't wait to really get on my car. I haven't even taken to redline yet or over 85. Not because I don't want too, just haven't had hwy time to do it yet! Too many damn cops every time I'm ready to get on it! But yea, hope you guys will have another drive or g2g because I'd be interested in seeing and hearing mods in person such as exhaust.

I read about your ride and someone else's. I'm sorry for both you guys as well as just reading about how easy these are to still is pretty pathetic. I thought about Lojack when I bought it but thought I've always been lucky (knock on wood). Now I wish I would've gotten it because it would've been cheaper through the dealer than buying it myself. Odd these cars don't have a chip in them. I had a 99 Infiniti G20 (I've never owned anything over 2 years lol but plan on keeping this one until the wheels fall off) and that even had a chip in the key.

The couple of hundred extra you'll pay for it will be outweighed by the benefit... trust me!

I've still heard that lojack isn't too reliable in some cases. In a perfect world I'd rather take measures to keep the car from getting stolen in the first place than making it easier for it to be found if it does get stolen.

I had an Audi then so I didn't mind the snow at all, I actually enjoyed it. But there's no way in hell I could deal with the freezing cold back in the STL. I try to only go home in the fall or spring just to avoid the humid summer or freezing winters lol

It was pretty bad out here this past winter as for snow but I blame it on city planners since the only action plan was laying sand on the roads.

AVIC-Z1 in my old Audi with carbon fiber enclosure
Still haven't looked on my external drive for all the rest of the pix of the A4
Nope, not chrome, just pain in the a$$ forged DPE all high polished. I had to polish them every freaking week. 18x8.5 front/18x9 rear
First set of rims I bought for it. So long ago, I don't remember what brand they were but not forged.
All my other cars in the past, we either didn't have a digital camera and I never scanned anything or they were saved on a thrashed hard drive. Freaking hate Microsoft and that's why I bought a Macbook Pro lol

I'm loving it! Just opened a claim with my insurance company though because an SUV switched lanes on 405 while I was on my way home and kicked up a large rock. Now need a new windshield since it took a chunk out of the surface. Then when I got home, closed my door after I got out, a crack spread all the way up and all the way down the window. Glad my deductible is only $100 because that windshield is expensive because of the onstar.

Thats odd, the same happened to me today.
A big ass rock kicked up and smashed my windshield. The cracks are spreading quickly. Theres still part of the rock in the glass.
This hasnt been my week. First my wheels get effed up, then I get a nail in my tire, now this.
Hopefully your luck is better then mine.

Man that raunchy to have it happen and then know someone with the same issues. I finally got my wife to take the 19's off her BMW and I pulled an almost 6 inch nail out of her rear. It's already bad enough I can't rotate them but just knowing I'll have to buy two more sucks. Her rims are 19x9 front and 19x10 rear. The nail could've at least been in the front because at 19x10 that stuff is not cheap at all.

Safelite came to my house replaced them while I had breakfast.
I have it with State Farm now, would not be without it, seems the worse the economy gets the more junk is on the road.
I just got a new bumper cover courtesy of a semi retread that was on the freeway, this one did cost me my deductible though.
