Compared to some of you I drive the crap out of my car. I have had it 8 months and put over 10K miles on it already. Great looking car OP.

Thanks a lot for the welcomes guys, I appreciate it.

And because I mentioned it, here is the aftermath of my poor late GT.

Everytime I read a post with someone wishing they had Recaros, I grin. Love my Recaros.

Yea it will always be heartbreaking to think about it but it did its job and I walked away with just a couple bruises.

Not bad. I've had my car 9 months and put 14,000 on it. Bought it used with 6,000 on it.
I drive my baby. Maybe too much. Even sold my bike.

How much are the recaros if you would buy and install them? Pretty pricey I think.
