But needing a reliable car, getting for only $4k, only 65k (2003 MY), LOADED (heated seats, turdo,etc) ... Apparently theres only like 1000 of this particular one made, or so I'm told by the NewBeetle community. "Lagoon Blue Color Concept" or some shit?

It gets me between ComposiMo and Richmond for not a lot of money.

I had a miata with a purple hardtop, I know the feeling.

And I had a 2L 6sp auto as a loaner car and honestly it handled great. The amount of headroom is almost unnerving...

just had an orange 5G Civic coupe behind me in line at the Richmond Airport Arby's.

Had some kind of black wheels/chrome lip, no hood, and what looked like a dark painted bay and B(?) swap.

Any info?

^^ 8foot ladder from dash to ass no problem as well. This came with the same "Cup" suspension option, 225/40/17's.... just one gear less (literally, 5th gear rides 75 at like 3.5k rpm) and about 20hp less. Same torque.

:highfive: Girl car's FTW.

White RSX Type S with gold rims and exhaust. Female driver was pretty hot, her friend in the passenger seat was hotter. Was at Home Goods by Wholefoods in the West End.

I've been seeing a matte black mustang around VCU parked along Main St a lot lately. Looks pretty slammed, windows are completely blacked out and there's a yellow script racing team logo on the hood.

Oh God, you're talking about those two SRG mustangs that are always on VCU campus these days. There's also a white one (with blue trim I think) with the same logo. Honestly, both those guys drive like complete d-bags, gunning their engines for no reason, going wide-open-throttle when there's a stoplight/sign like 200 ft away, etc. Its guys like that that give Mustang drivers (in fact, "car guys" in general) a bad name
