They have a lot of proaudio stuff and from what I understand their prices are the best.

Well I guess I'll tell you guys now, I can't get another car, I was just told the lancer needs a transmission rebuild. The first and second synchro's are all messed up (doesn't help I learned how to drive stick on this car...) and the throw out bearing needs to be replaced again. I'm looking at close to 1200-1600$ worth of work and parts.. Since its a pain to sell a broken car I think I'm just going to fix it, keep the car till I'm done with college and hope that it doesn't have anymore problems... Its been a depressing day, I found a 2007 Legacy GT B spec for sale locally and its in mint condition and the color match up is hard to find for 24K... If the lancer didn't have its problem I woulda jumped on that LGT in a heart beat.
On top of all that I might be getting laid off on my part time job due to the automotive engineering economy crashing...
[Click here to donate] ... heh
/end rant
Turco thanks for the heads up, I looked at the link and that car is sexy.. I love the wrx wagons and have always wanted one. I'd actually take this over the LGT..

speaking of cops
I went and fought my ticket I got back in July and I feel I won with fly colors!!
I was pulled over for a few things, 3 to be exact.
1. My registration from Nevada expired 6 days before this run in with the local finest and he didn't like that. (Glad USPS forwarded all my mail from Vegas)
2. he gave me a ticket for unlawful noise from engine bay. (
wastegate opened)
3. speeding 80+ in a 55 (I95N near Lexington)
So I go and fight the ticket yesterday up in Concord. This is where it got good.
A Sargent read the officers notes and he says that my registration was expired 5 months earlier than the date of ticket issuance , I had altered exhaust which is was what made my engine noise , and I sped off at a high rate of speed and the officer got me at 80mph and had to do 120 to catch up. 
What a joke!! This officer clearly was making **** up that wasn't even on the ticket or notes!!
I immediately went on a rant about how wrong these notes were.
I had paperwork showing my reg from NV expired less than a week before and that I purchased new reg from MA the next day.
I also showed them a diagram of how a turbo charged car works and that it wasoff me the wastegate that made the noise not my stock cat back exhaust that I specifically showed the officer at the time of the ticket being issued!!
Lastly I showed them a map of where the officer was (behind a semi truck parked) and how it was not possible to get a speed or a clear visual to get a speed for me. I also stated that I clearly asked the officer if he got me on radar or laser and he replied no. The magistrate was clearly frustrated with the Sargent's paperwork and asked him to clear this up. He said the date for the reg "must have been a typo in his notes", and he studdered when the magistrate asked if there was any radar even used.... "uh, let me check here.... um no. no radar used"
He got pwned!!!
So I walked out with a $100 fee for the minimum speeding she could give me. (I did admit to accelerating to approx 70 to merge onto the highway.)
Thanks for listening
