is it running yet???
Nope

Speaking of that, get that bitch here so we can work on it. You could also bribe my dad and we could take the truck and trailer on a long weekend and pick it up. He is always down for a road trip.
Yeah Denny just dose not have the time to monkey with it anymore. I need that bad boy running soon my engine build is happening much quicker then anticipated. I will work on making shipping arrangements this week.

Its really to bad I would rather just go pick it up in the next few weeks on my way home.

Its fun having a system in these cars...install isn't too bad...wiring can be a bitch but id suggest going with two 12s or 10s...those 15's were too damn loud in that car...they popped my trunk open on several occasions and almost blew out my back window at the last show. The way our trunks are built with the middle being able to open up, if utilized right the amount of airflow is more then enough for a quality sound....fyi I build custom boxes(refer to cornholios pics) soo if ya want something just pm me
Thanks man but I think our goals are Very different. My install will be an SQ set up. PM me if you want the details.

I saw a clean Speed 6 when I was helping Shady move and it made me want one as a daily.

USAA is usually pretty awesome from what I hear!

Also yes speed 6's are sick, id settle for a regular 6. Just something comfortable, automatic, gets decent mpg. I got 3 more years until I can get another car though...

I helped my GF's sister shop for a Mazda 2 and I have to say they are nicely equipped and ride very well. They also handle and brake pretty well and have sufficient power for daily driving. I'd like to buy a B Spec one and turbocharge it

I'm still shooting for a 2008 A4. In about 3 years they should be priced just right.

I like the velociter, not sure on the whole three door thing though but it should be fine for limber people or kids. I had a FX45 loaner once and I really liked it.
