He is in Oklahoma City. You get some snow and ice there but not very much. I grew up there and went to OU.

It's an '04 6sp car. Some criticize the '04 cars, but this is a late VIN car built in May and in the 3 years of ownership and over 20k miles of fun, I've literally had only one thing break. It was a $158 coolant hose. Otherwise, regular maintenance and fill up the gas! Has been the best car I've owned to date...And the sound from the straight pipes/Tubi exhaust is PERFECT

Enjoy your new addition. By the way, what year is your Diablo and how many miles?

It's a 92 Diablo with 18k KM on it. I was in search of an early RWD car. Such a terrible/awesome car to drive

I'll post some better pics when I get the chance!

What a great write up. Amazing what your thoughts were after some of the more expensive exotics you took out, to actually end up with the GT3. I guess this car continues to prove what it's really all about. Congrats on both of your new toys.
