I think you missed the point. "Original MS3-ers" refers to people who bought the initial model year ('07).

Not really OG, but the first model even before the 08.5 refresh... OG enough.
Bought in October 08, but manufactured October 07. 10,750 miles as of right now.
Engine pulley tensioner took a s*** at 9.9K miles, but other than that it's been awesome. Handles good, practical, good mielage, and pulls like a ***** ape on those 3rd-5th gear runs.

I dunno ... now that you mention it, maybe that's what SwampAss meant. If so, he could've phrased it "1st Gen MS3'ers".

The OG crew. The whole "had to worry about engine fall out" group heh.

Perhaps I missed something... What is OG?

March 07. Spoiled & pampered worse than a purebred siamese cat. Change the oil more often than I change pants. 8,300 miles and holding. When I was a teen there was nothing I'd rather do than rack up a bunch of miles; now I plan shopping trips and errands down to the last red light/road construction zone. Mighty few times these days when you can have an open stretch of road to wind her up...
