Pulled the trigger

After an exhaustive search, I pick up my '02 Turbo 31k miles beauty tomorrow! I've been looking just short of a year with many ups and downs, frustrations and regrets along the way. Like many other posters (posers) here, I have attempted to low ball every seller along the way. My apologies. In the end, I opted to pay up after I found "my" car.

It's bone stock, 2 owners, meticulously maintained and seemingly perfect in every way. Knock on wood. It will be my daily driver, less those days that require me to be incognito.

Congrats on the new ride! You will love the car... Trust me! If you want any kind of modifications stop by Boost Logic (620/Anderson Mill Rd) behind Elite Motorsports. They will take care of you from simple modifications to wild modifications. They deal with my good friend Tony @ EPL so you will be in good hands regardless.

I may head up again in a few weeks in the car to come hang out with the guys up there and go to the lake. If I'm there you should come by and check out the shop and meet everyone. A few of us post on here.

I considered buying a turbo they had for sale about a month ago and they showed me around. Very nice shop.

Good God, I must resist the urge to mod the car. I know the possibilities are endless. It's great to know that when I bore with the stock performance I'll be able to easily restore the grin. Until then, I need to check my ego and resist HP envy. Honestly, I wonder how long I can hold out?

I live in Steiner Ranch, when you are in town I'd enjoy meeting up.

Welcome to the family! If you don't do any mods you have to at least
lower it with some simple springs. They kinda look like a 4 x 4 stock!

I would not stick around here though the mod disease is very strong!

Excellent! You'll always look for a reason to take out the Turbo for a ride. I know I do

That was me last September 26th. Congrats! You will enjoy the crap out of it. I got lucky and had ne clutch/DVs/plugs/painted bumperettes done right before I bought it. (PO was a customer of mine)

The waiting is the hardest part...

I expected the car to be ready for delivery, but I'm sitting in the dealership lobby waiting for last minute items to be completed. It's killing me.

No it's not for suspension, rims, turbos, flash, exhaust, pedals ...

No mods. Who wants the over/under?

Spill it; whatcha getting done? If you don't mind me asking; how much did you end up getting the car for, I saw how much it was listed for? Feel free to pm me if it's a big deal.
