Riceburner's september FCOTM submish
 
Adam V
Winfield Illinois
22 years old
2006 Supercharged, Ultra Silver Metallic, moon roof, XM.
Just hit 53000 miles, runnin like a champ!

Hey whats up everyone, its riceburner, aka Adam. I'm 22, and an engineer of sorts for Comcast. Still in college, doing my thang!
I got this car last May bone stock, was in love with these cars since 05
something about the looks, bang for the buck, mileage, and of course, that lustful blower whine. Finally found one after searching for a year and had to scoop! Been hopelessly addicted since. Really great car to look at, drive, take to the occasional show... just a real treat. Havent found any 'haters' yet either so thats good.

I wash this car twice a week and claybar/wax it often as well. trying to keep a dd in showcar condition ain't easy though.
So i've been hit with 'the bug' pretty hard with this car. Mod's are going to continue as long as i have the car most likely, and like most ppl, i have a never ending, only growing list of 'stuff i want to do' to it.
