It turns into a fun hobby really and you will enjoy your new beast even more so that way!!

Thank you DrCactus! I actually already made a small little repair myself and I felt so proud. I took out the frunk tools, loosened up a headlight, put the rubber casing/protective band back in the proper place, then tightened it up! I actually need to find a full set of lug nuts since mine are a bit rusty!

I'm already so hyped about my car and trying to learn everything I can.

Uhm, no AmongstEnemies is a username I came up with maybe 10 years ago and I've stuck with it everywhere online since.

Tracking a car is defn fun, but can start a slippery slope of modifications and expenses. Just be sure you're also saving for a house and a start on a retirement fund. Those things are important too. Question: how do you make a small fortune in racing? Answer: start with a large fortune. I never thought I would find a hobby more expensive than golf, but DEing is miles more expensive. However, at night I don't dream about playing golf.

Sorry about the abbreviation faux pas. We tend to shorten things up here, so it might happen in the future by others in future threads. No offense intended.

Honestly I could see myself putting 15-20k miles /year on it since I do daily drive it and I like taking road trips (the city I live in SUCKS)

I don't plan on tracking it, earlier I was speaking about the prior owner who presumably tracked it, and most likely took great care of it.

WHERE can I find the date it was produced again? its some sticker somewhere but I've forgotten... on the door? or was it in the trunk D: ALSO from what the internet tells me a 2005 could be the first or the last one produced in the year and you can never really know which kind of IMS you have until you get in there and look at it.
