Mine gets stored at the first snowfall that stays on the street. Although, i bought my anual winter beater and have been neglecting the G to say the least.

I see what all the DSM fuss is about. So fun for so cheap.

I had a feeling you got one. I don't think I have anything nice to say on the subject of dsm, and I never will.

Its your typical super car really. 92 Talon Tsi awd. I've never been a fan, but cheap talks. It was completely stock when i picked it up. Needed almost every moving part in the front end and all 3 u-joints. $155 in parts later, it drives quite nice now.

Met a hoarder with every jdm part you'd need for one. EVO3 turbo, mbc, epromed ecu and its pretty fun to drive now.

I never have either. The dsm crowd is enough to make you steer far away from any 4 wheeled mobile. It was the first car that met my criteria, and works so far.

Oh. That DSM.

I remember a co-worker of the ex who had one that broke its crankshaft just between the flywheel flange and the rear main bearing. It broke on shut-down. Under warranty. Which was denied citing driver 'abuse'. It was an automatic...

Performance rubber on cold but dry pavement is a recipe for a spin. Careful out there.
