EDIT: Actually only the face got stolen. I can't find another one though, no luck on Ebay or with Rockford so far.

yeah that sucks, you'd probably pay almost the same amount as the unit itself for just the face. what idiot took JUST the face? it's of no use without the unit.


I know what you mean. It was just some amateur I'm sure, lot of dumb ass ricers around where I lived when it happened. I think my girl left the door on her side unlocked and they got in during the night and took the face and about 35¢ in change. I looked on Ebay for a long time after it happened thinking that they must have not been able to get the head unit out so they'd try offloading the face there, but no luck. I would have recognized it because there were two small scratches underneath two of the buttons from where I'd taken it apart to fix something. :( I really miss having music in my car too, another head unit (face and all) from Ebay would cost about $100.

It handles, very, very well, something that Acura/Honda hasn't done since the Integra TypeR, and it's got gobs of power, both HP and torque. A very good step in performance competitiveness on Dogde's part. (I know the Honda S2000 would be compettitive, but it's RWD. And also I'm speaking of cars availible in th US)

But when somebody is serious about shopping for a sports car, FWD is not a consideration so it is somewhat of a moot comparison. With a garage like that you'd be expecting to find a Viper or an exotic. :)

I did't specifically say that the SRT-4 was a sports car. The whole reason I think people are so acostomed to thinking that RWD is the only true "sports" car, is because they don't think FWD can be competitive on the track and course. To me, the SRT-4 a highly tuned and performing FWD car, sporty, one might say.

As far as handling is concerned, the mazdaspeed protoge and the MP3 were among the best handling FWD cars out there (slalom and lateral grip (g's) were comparable to porsche when tested in Car and Driver a while back). The SRT-4 handles very well for a FWD.

Hrmm...with a garage like that, I'd want it with or without a car in it; it's just that nice of a garage.

I would rather spend the money on a real sports car and have a normal garage.

Handling schmandling. When I turn the wheel and push down the pedal, I want to rotate.

**EDIT**
After having vrushed up on my reading skills a bit...
"Working on the car, i put it in my unusual basement. We have a car lift under one of the garage floors custom built by my father. I lowerd my car into my basement, so i could work on it and take my time on it."
