welcome! cool, yours looks just like mine did...black, 5 speed, F23 engine. i think you're the second 6th gen in the club now.

looks pretty nicely done, the exhaust is hilarious. any plans for a LSD? peg leg burnouts are no fun

[x5carl3tmurd3rx]

thanks man, glad to hear I'm not the only 6th gen around.

thanks man I worked real hard on it. No LSD for now gotta pay back all the money I borrowed to turbo it first, then if I'm not building my 240 by then I'll probably throw an LSD in it, I really wanna get into the drift scene though so that might have to wait.

Welcome to the club! It's definitely not a big deal that you didn't go to JMU, we're all friends here. Just don't take all of the banter too seriously if you stick around

[x5carl3tmurd3rx]

ok cool I wasn't sure if it was like exclusive JMU only haha. well I'd love to meet up with some people when I get into the area, I'm an amateur photographer and I'm always looking for some nice car's to take pictures of. Plus it'll just be nice to know some people in the car scene when I get down there.
