interestingly my insurance is the same cost as it was for the Stringbean. Either way I'm excited as hell.

(Didn't pick it up Thursday because I had the Uplander with me, today was work and I'm exhaust (almost fell off a way-too-high box (fuck snow)) so that means tomorrow is zero day).

Oh and I've already picked out an intake, exhaust, and some other goodies.

Also I need help coming up with a nickname. Stringbean sort of came from being drunk one night and not being able to say Sebring. Happens. But it stuck. Also you'll be happy to know I'm ordering HOONDAI license plates tomorrow.

Think fast! It's white. White Oppo sticker or a different color? Go!

what year and trim level?

Iirc, the 2.0t shares a lot of engine with the Evo X.

2011 Track with a 3.8. I do remember seeing they share a lot of suspension bits as the Evo as well. I was looking at a 13 R Spec but this has the two tone interior, nav system, upgraded everything and though it is manual... it was flappy paddles which I have an affinity for.

Kinja'd!!!

Their red looks a little dark. May work though cause the windows are tinted dark as hell.

On the other hand, white on white would look pretty damn great.

Its a shame because I have a green one that was supposed to go on the Sebring. I think it may have to go on my work van.. good ole Chevy Uplander with all the back seats ripped out and rollin on steelies. So it's Oppo in its own right.

Haha, I'll bet that the transmission slips like nobodies business on the Uplander.

The Genesis should be an awesome upgrade though! The real question if you will keep the old plates.

It does! Just recently it started thunking with every shift then goes back to normal. Occasionally it does this violent shaking and vibration upon take off which scares me every time it happens because it's so violent but unexpected.

The Gengar plates I'll keep as a token of memory. Once I get my HOONDAI plates I'll transfer the ones from the dealer over to the Sebring and sell it with those.
