      Update: a year later and about 9K miles and 3 oil changes later, she is still running like a top. Tomorrow the roadkill LS will be sporting a new set of rolling stock with new 15" wheels and Dunlaps. Wooot! This is my second order attempt as my first choice was out of stock here in the states. So I went with a German make wheel, to keep with my 'euro' theme I hope they fit. Stay tuned for pics.

      The crazy part; I spent more on rolling stock than I did on buying the car itself!

      Truth Bro. Bought my car for 9K. 2006 now worth about 3.5 K (still have a dent) and my wheels and tires cost about 1K. Ouch!
      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....
