Currently an "import" guy...

[StormWatch]

...but I appreciate all cars, fast is fast is fast.

Shopping around for something in a couple years, I'm damn fond of these newer supercharged Fords and enjoy reading about the progress you guys are making with them.

See ya around!

Welcome... What kinda import do you have?

 

[StormWatch]

I hate to make that classification between "imports" and "domestics" but I'm afraid those designations are going to be with us forever.

It's a 2001 VW GTI 5-speed, 1.8T engine with a few mods. Previous cars were an '88 Honda CRX and a '91 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, both 5-speeds as well.

Not bad!

Hey you know that domestic vs. import line is getting more and more crossed -
Like the 2004 Pontiac GTO, for example, is the Holden Monaro from Australia -
Food for thought
