I have been seeing a lot of riced out BMWs lately as well. They are basically the euro civic though.

Damnit. CHRAs don't match. I have to remove a plug, tap one of the coolant lines and plug the open one. Grr.

And this retires the Volvo thread. She was returned to stock (except for the roof rails) this morning. Sure looks funny all 4wd lookin' again. It's going to a (hopefully) good home.
