LOL. Shame? I bought the car that does everything I want - it stops, turns, and goes better than 95% of the cars on the road, has cold a/c, turns heads everywhere, and is a blast to drive. I don't feel shame.

Shame is that feeling your inferiority complex gives you.

It was a joke, relax. Your comment completely contradicted itself, so I sarcastically replied to it. You said you don't need power for a daily, but here you are above right here saying it stops, turns and goes better than 95%, therefor admitting a car with power is better/more fun to have. You're a gearhead, you should be thinking "too much horsepower is almost enough".

Not really. I like working on cars in general, but not on my daily driver. And I don't want to get on the tune merry-go-round every time I bolt something new to it.

Just installed JLT cold air, Bama Race tune, Off road H pipe, and Magnaflow Mufflers in place of the resonators. BTW it is way too loud. Runs great though.
