    Hello! I recently puchased a '07 MS3 and as the title says, it is the first manual in 7 years. Long and short of it, sold a '91 Integra I autocrossed in Cali after moving to the St Louis MO area due to it hating the weather. I have been itching to get back into a "tossable" manual car for awhile and I finally pulled the trigger. A fellow autocrosser(that recently took 3rd in ESPL at Nationals I need to add) was selling hers and I found it on FB and CL, test drove it and was hooked.
    Glad to be back at it rowing away, never had a turbo, this could be...interesting. Reflexes aren't what they used to be.
    Anyway, thanks for the Q&A on future discussions. Yes, I will be using the search button first. HA

    This is one of the car from the previous owner. She had coffee mugs made with the photos. I would have required them during the sale if I knew of them! Next time I’ll ask.

    Probably one of the best looking cars in the community IMO. Congrats and enjoy. Johanna really loved that car.

    What all of them said...

    Thanks guys! And thanks @dkreighbaum70 for giving my beautiful carbaby a good home! I'm so happy to see it light up someone else's garagelife after giving me an introduction to the world of modified and boosted cars, and the wonderful people on this forum. We're all here for you if/when you need us (shit talking, aside)!

    Don't know that I'll ever be used to seeing it as someone else's avatar, though... ;)

    YES! I have been bombarding her with questions about the car and she has graciously answered every question. Kinda feel like we have joint custody!! HA
    [doublepost=1509054318][/doublepost]I wasn’t sure what I was getting into with a vinyl wrapped car. It looks amazing! I’m actually going to look into doing it again in a different matte color.
    With Johanna’s permission of course. LOL

    I owned a ‘91 LS and enjoyed cone killing a lot. Had a blast with that car. Burned a lot of tires with it for sure.
