I've got my parts list ready, now just waiting on paperwork to go through (it'll take 3-4 weeks) so that I can purchase the car off of the lease program. Then I can start the modding.

In the meantime, I drive it pretty much everywhere to keep miles off of the Porsche. It averages a steady 26mpg with a lot of traffic driving and costs about $24 to fill the tank at current gas prices.

The best part about it has to be the performance pack. The front limited slip dif gets rid of a lot of understeer when you're pulling out of a turn, and really keeps the car going straight with a launch too. There is definitely a large difference in traction and speed with that dif vs. the regular VAQ dif.
