It is stock minus :

Congrats on the car...it's identical to my '02 which I bought in San Diego at the end of 2014...I mean identical right down to the mileage +/-.

Of course I was unable to keep it stock for long, so fast forward 15 months and now I have wheels, tune w/ Cobb Access Port, Billet diverters, full exhaust, shifter, custom alignment, sway bars. Nothing too serious.

Sorry to hear about your little one...hopefully he didn't get TOO sick in the back of the car?

I have 2.5 year old that loves to go for "Por-shuh" rides, but I don't get too aggressive and so far he's been ok riding up on the Skyline, which is very curvy.

Why is the kid holding his breath? Or is he the one about to puke? Congrats that your wife likes to drive your stick... no wait that did not sound right... Congrats on the new car and glad your wife likes to drive it too. She will be more open to presents for your new mistress... no wait that did not sound right either... Congrats!
