SS S/C bought 8-5-05

My bro just picked up his 05 Silver SS S/C. He doesn't know how to drive a 5 speed, so i got to drive to hom(Waco) from dallas. What an Amazing car!!!! the car picked up pretty good on the highway. Also would like to add, the sticker says that it gets 29mpg, i was getting 34.6 with cruise control on the way home. The car sticks out BIG TIME. Its a real head turner, everyone i passed was lookin.

On the way home, there was a 4-door integra LS, lowered, rims, exhaust, not sure what else. he drove by me, so i downshifted and caught up with him. Motioned for us to race, and the guy put a big smile on his face and just shook his head now and started drifting back, . It was awesome, can't wait till I get mine.

congrats on your bro's purchase. i wouldn't recommend you racing the car since it's still brand new and not broken in yet. if i saw you on the highway and you wanted to race me i woulda just smiled and shook my head too. i would race you on the track though.

On your boost gauge, try to go get your PSI over 10 vaccuum(-10, or something like that). Also I wasn't gonna race the guy, I was just messin with him. I was gonna wait till he wanted to go and just point at the SS and Supercharged, laugh and then go on with my business. Yes, I know, I'm an *******, . but yeah, its a nice car, can't wait till I get mine. It'll be a few months before I get it though.

On another note, I looked at a N/A SS up there, it was auto, but looked just like the SS S/C. It didn't have the spoiler of the S/C, but it did have the small spoiler. It also has the same wheels at ths S/C SS but they were chromed and 17's or 16's, weren't 18's. The SS S/C wheels look good chromed.

If someone would like to host some pics for me, I'll send them.

Also, the car is silver with black inserts(all black interior = hot as a BIOTCH!)
