            Let's see... for $9511.59 of Dinan parts, you probably could have swapped in an S54 and Ground Controls.

              Yeah, pass on the Dinan(too much money for what you gain). Your warranty is over in September on my birthday. To celebrate we'll start mollesting the car.

                Wow, so many people would choose a car over a family. I guess it really is 2008.

                  Hah I was joking.

                  If I was going to modify that wagon, an S54/6-spd tranny would be first on the list.

                              We got it for $17K, which is an excellent price. It has been in a small accident (no frame damage or anything like that). That is all fixed and ok. Other than it having been repaired in the past it is rock solid and uber clean. I will be giving it the Griot's treatment soon. ;)

                              I would dig the wagon as a daily even if I was single (I talked her into a wagon instead of an SUV).

                              We put a healthy down payment on it and got a good interest rate cause we both a have great credit (especially for only being 21).
