I bought my car in August 2006 as a cheap college car with good economy. At the time it had been previously owned by an elderly couple and was a grocery getter and not much else. It had 35k on it and was in fairly good shape. The options list was small: 14" alloys and atx:mad: I wasn't concerned in the least about modding, but I got a cd player and some vinyl floormats because my stockers were disgusting. I also thought about getting the factory spoiler, thank God I didnt do that

Late fall I joined teamzx2, looked around some, didn't really care about any of it and didn't really become active til early spring. I got 17" rims from a friend, got an iceman from dropt, and visited mac for some leather seats 8)

Bought a parts car in April, got it for power windows, power locks, and cruise. I figured it'd plug in, unfortunately said plugs weren't present on my car, so a whole wiring harness was going to have to be swapped. and so it began
