Well truth be told, I did take advantage of the CARS program/Cash for Clunkers.

The Passat Wagon I was driving was getting up there, and over the last couple of years, I have spent about $4000 on repairs, and the time and offer was right

OK:

1. Hope you don't turn into a hamster.

2. I DARE you to autocross w/ it and take it to the drag strip (to race, not spectate).

I've done it w/ my Fit and will continue to do so.

Congrats,

Greg

Besides - it has a nicer looking interior than any Mustang I've ever seen! Congrats - always nice having a new car

And it would have beaten my Geo Metro w/ the 3 cylinder 1L - although it got to 120k miles of abuse and was running strong when my step-bro totalled it - all for 6k in '89 and getting 40 mpg all the while...

I think I can find a Hamster model that I can blow up for a costume

The only cars meant to race on a drag strip are the Muscle Cars from 1970

Actually, I would like to have a paper model of it, 1:24 with full interior, but that is just me......

I too would like to know how you feel about this 'model' after you have had it for a while. My wife wants to buy one, which means we will, but I would could use some real input as to quality, ride etc.

~ does it have that new paper smell?
