    Does anyone ever get an itch to drive their car? I drive my Old's all week while the GP sits covered in the driveway

    BTW the wheels on the Old's are from a 2003 Aztek they are 17's and will fit on a GP just need a lower profile tires.

    I drive by a stealership everyday that has 2010 5door STI and today they parked a Blue SS/TC next to it. I was going to stop and check it out tomorrow on my way home. Do the manuals have the same issue with the stuck key/air bag/power steering?

    I have my choice of 4 other cars to drive throughout the week so I just kinda switch off. Between the 00 GT, 95 Bonne, 87 Nissan, and 03 CV Sport I don't really get too bored, lol... I've been driving the Bonne all week and plan on switching to the GP next week as it's been sitting for 2 weeks now (was on vacation all last week in Indy). The 4th one is my 74 MG Midget but that only gets driven on nice days when I don't plan on being out in the field on a job since Grundy won't cover an accident if I'm using it for work purposes.

    Dunno about the STI issue. Find an STI forum and take a look would be my thought.

    Not sure, because the F23 transmission is a pile of crap.

    The Automatics are damn near bulletproof.

    I planned and built this current Regal/DD beater for this exact purpose. It's enjoyable, nearly everyday.

    Was sick of never having enough volume from a radio. Only once did I make it to three quarters volume on the current setup and it handles it like it's nothing. Backup camera makes the touchscreen dvd a valuable tool for me.

    Was sick of not being able to corner (bonneville), now corners are possible to the suspension.

    Disliked breaking the car due to too much power, I miss too much power. Although Regal isn't a slug.

    Braking was always a sore spot on Bonne because my truck could out stop it. Can't outstop the Regal.

    Wanted turn signal mirrors, puddle lights and homelink. All accomplished.

    Didn't want to miss having a hud, added it.


    Coming soon, better center console (fabbed better for the additional power outlets and hidden aeroforce/hud controls and shortened shifter to better fit Bonne shifter and Regal shifter boot combo.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Pics of HUD and shifter.

    My DD has a suspension/handling issue. Not sure what it is. I think it's just an H-Body thing

    Shifter isn't done yet. I do have the 00+ Bonneville/GA shifter handle, the boot just isn't quite tall enough. That's why I'll trim it down based on the thread here on short shifter.
