Well I have 3 inch chrome SPT exhaust that goes under the diff and SPT stickers on the back side windows and PTuning (of Manassas) on the center top of the rear windshield.
No one has seen my 85 Corolla hatch because it's been sitting since December in the middle of a SC MR2 motor project...
Sorry I havent seen the stolen car. I'll keep my eye out.

Well damn dude, the car isn't "heavily" modified. He's not trying to make it killer fast and have all the greatest and most sought after performance parts to make an all out racecar. Give the guy a break.
Yeah well that may be. But at least he didn't sleep with guys like Lumbergh.

Re: New to Forum in NoVa
I bought the car with those SPT mods already installed, and they are included in the dealership warranty. It was already installed when I saw it for the first time and I got it right off the showroom floor. I know SPT isnt competitive with popular brands like Greddy and HKS and all that, but its better than stock.
I'm only focusing on a nice reliable fun car that is pretty good rolling out of the dealership and I gotta pay it off.
I could have gotten an STi but I dont need to be putting 33k miles a year on it with stiff suspension and one other disadvantage of an STi is that you cant really grow old with it and still be commuting in a car with young hotshot blue interior and a big spoiler. They both look nice, dont get me wrong and getting 293HP is also nice, but Im not into street racing and I get 25-27MPG in my WRX rather then the STi's getting around 21MPG.
I have no desire to put any mods on it, at least for the next 5 years minimum.
I am paying for the car myself and I have a full time job and am full time in college so my money goes to the expensive gas and car payments and insurance. I dont need to waste money on upgrades until I get a great job and am financially secure. Whats the point of a car with upgrades when you're also broke?
Shoez, my Corolla has 15 inch SSR Reverse Meshies which I got for free loong before i got the car, haha. I have only been to Springfield once which was back last May, so its probably not the same car you have been seeing.

Har Har.
I am not into street racing because it is illegal and it is dangerous and cops can get involved. I am not interested in getting my car damaged or confiscated.
I am also not interested in getting any jail time AND ruining peoples lives, whether its a passenger like in Nick Hogan's case, or that mother of 2 in a wheelchair that was hit and killed by a 17 year old street racer.
Bad records and run-ins with the law do show up when your company looks you up during a job interview.
And you call all this "gay?" Get back at me as soon as you get out of prison when you got to be some big man's bitch in prison. Get back at me when you lose your car and your license and your mommy and daddy have to drive you to work, IF you're just lucky enough to not lose that job also.
I like to do a little bit of drag racing and I like to hit up Summit Point Raceway in my Corolla. The Corolla's my toy more than the WRX.

"Stages" crack me up. "Stage" is just another term for "I can't do any damn work myself". I had a guy tell me he had a "Stage 4 WRX"... I asked him the trim of his compressor side and he didn't know what the hell I meant.
