ok, the wife and i loved the car.
it was really just a "one hit wonder" in my mind. i dont track it, because i have a track car, that i can work on myself. i put a bunch of sacks of chicken feed in the back, and it really affected the feel of the car. ditto for four adults. believe me, i wanted to track it, but my dealer service rep couldnt tell me 100% if the warranty would be zapped or not. so basically, i just drove it, as fast, fun, basic transportation.
i have not replaced the car. i have been driving my street/track car around. sorta stimulating in a whole new aspect.
i have two hobbies. track days, and the great outdoors. my track car takes care of one "need", and the MS3 is the opposite of any car that can go outdoorsy. i am going to ride with the new owner at thunderhill raceway. it will be awesome.
no idea on the next car, but one thing for sure...it will be a used car. i learned a valuable lesson about depreciation on the MS3..wake up call for sure.
