I picked this '03 demo up from the dealer last year with just over 2k miles on it. Everything in the picture was done by the dealer, under the hood it's bone stock except for the injin oil cap and CEI, and a stabilizer. I've gone though a love/hate relationship with it but all in all it's a good car. I cringe when girls call it "cute" and the guys at work say it's a "chick car". The ride is rough as hell and cops just really seem to dig pulling me over...(that's the hate part) Watching just about every other 4 cyl car in my rear view mirror is the love part.I'm going to be trolling the forums looking for some inexpensive ways to squeeze a few more ponies to the front wheels, looks like a great site so far. Really happy I stumbled across it. Sorry about the size

YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!
Welcome to GenVibe! Take the guys at work for a ride, have them experience "lift", and see if they still call it a chick car. It will change their thinking real quick.

Congrats and welcome to the site! I have to disagree though, red does not make you get pulled over more. My wife and I saw a 20/20 show last year and they surveyed cops and the tickets they wrote, red was not a factor. I have 2 red cars, 2 drivers and have not been pulled over in either!

from what i've heard n noticed at times, brighter or more vivid colored cars seem to give the illusion that they're goin faster than something w/ a more modest color. (like platinum j/p)welcome to genvibe, and i hate hearin that my car is "cute" too. bluecrush is right tho, i had a couple guys give me a hard time til i gave em a lift
