One year..

Postby Petrified.Rabbit » Tue Sep 22, 2009 9:07 am

Today is the one year mark of owning my car. At @ 15000 miles, i am still very happy with the car. With my car ownership history that is surprising, even to me. The car still rides amazingly on the cut H&R springs and stock struts, but coil overs are being actively hunted. Along with another possible wheel change.

I had been through a set of factory wheels and tires which lasted only the first 4000 miles, and handled like crap, another set i got under warranty for about 3000 miles that didn't wear because I stopped pushing it in corners. Then i got 16" wheels with falken 502s, probably one of the best street performance tires i have owned, i had a fuel pump die with about 4400 miles on the odometer. And some issues with the dealer. other than that, it has been a great car, i am very happy with it.

I think own the oldest 09 on the boards, or at least i am the first 09 owner to start posting regularly.

I still have big plans for this car.
