    that's an understatement!!!:ihih: The mpg meter is best left on a back screen :lol: 12mpg is what I 'reset' when I bought it. I've seen 16-17mpg on my normal mix of highway and town commute. Compare that to 18.5mph on my STI....not so bad (this car is faster bone stock than that car was modded).

    Not much in the way of power mods so far....the motor isn't new but the chassis is. Brabus has a 6.1L conversion but we know that will cost $Texas$

    It's good man... very busy. But I am glad to be doing something positive for me for a change.

    Make sure you hit me up. I should be around

    I think that's relative. It cost less than a particular member here has spent on his mostly OEM MINI.

    and now with more 19" AMG. 275 width summer tires have transformed the car, as expected.

    I'm not digging the smoked sidemarkers. Stock were orange. I'd like a clear set since the car is silver...seem to be unavailable at this point.

    still loving this car. only thing missing is a bit of razor sharp reflex but its got enormous capability (with summer rubber on and 275's out back)
