it was nothing more than a clerical error within autotrader. i bought it from a massive dealership that owns several lots over the northwest and midwest. i'm sure that i got what i paid for

this sure has seemed to have shaken up some forum members. lots of skepticism and paranoia!
pictures and review to come. and hopefully a pic of me dropping the clutch down the street

Make sure you say "This one is for Karo" when you do so

When you're ever around Los Anegeles a free unlock/lock chirp on the house

LoL. I'll do better than that, I'll write your name in rubber

And I will totally take you up on the chirpy mod. My wife is originally from Ventura and has always wanted to go back, as its been since she was a squirt. so Ventura, LA & Karo are all on the list. If you're lucky, you can sit in the new car and make vroom vroom sounds and pass it through the gears. not a bad deal eh?

Suppp Karo
Just called the stealership. An e-mail was sent to the shipping company. The trucker was supposed to have called me already. He told them he would be in my area, weather pending, by today. Im a little worried. But he said he also had a 6 car drop off to make at a ford dealership, and a few to pickup along the way as well. So... could've been wishful thinking on the driver's part, but I still wish that I had heard from him.
I cant focus. I cant do anything right now. Theres so many things I need to do but none of it is going to get done until I see that truck! I bought the car outright... sucks Im out $13,771 and nothing to show for it!!
Once I get it, I'll start my own thread for my new car
Keep your fingers crossed with me!

i havent owned a real stick shift (or a real car) since my 02 camaro ss. i did own an 08 equnox rwd sport that i believe had 270 hp. it was actually a lot of fun and the perfect size SUV. wish I hadntve gotten rid of it.

Can't wait!!!

Don't worry she'll be there soon. The ad has been taken down on Autotrader so it's definitely legit and is on its way to a new loving family...what are you going to name her??

ive never been interested in names before, I just ride them hard and put em up wet

this one has been a work in progress to find, and is probably my most prized car ive owned to date... even moreso than the 12 sec camaro... as those are a dime a dozen.

im up to hear suggestions for the name tho im willing to commit to her enough to give her a name

Honestly with the C350 manual I would only get an ECU tune (the car is rare as hell and IMO all those mods are going to ruin it's value). No exhaust and no other mods. Keep it as original as possible. Down the road that car is going to be more valuable than a modded one. It's sort of like those classic cars. Either stay all original or go ***** to the walls. You can't be in the middle.

When I got my exhaust put in I lost low end. Then I installed headers which I don't feel good low end but great top end. After tune I felt a huge difference but again I lack low end. My car sucks off a dig....3k range is where it pulls hard (gained 33wtq in the 3k range after tune).

Good point, well taken.

I'll take the spray paint, hubcaps, and underbody neon kit back to pep-boys tomorrow
