got to drive a msP!!!!!!!!!!!!

fresh off the truck, MSP in spicy orange mica... *drool*drove it around the lot.. what a sweet car! but if i had a choice between my p5 and the MSP i would probably take the p5 since ive done so much to it.. the stock stereo is excelent i must say for a stock system. (can't beat the mark levinson system in the lexus sc430 though.. nothing will beat that for stock) but if you throw in 1000 for an aftermarket system in a p5 it will sound better than the msp.

the seats are pretty cool, but its the same design as the stock seats.. just more comfortable.

shifter is pretty good, good hight too. throws are actually shorter than the p5 as opposed to a choped stock shifter (ext removed).

i think itwould be cooler if they put p5 headlights on the msp. so it will look diffrent than a regular sedan ES GT

The sidemarkers make that much of a difference?! I thought the drag coeffiecients were the same.

They just abused me. Always had me working the strangest damn hours, then got mad when I couldn't because of school! Also, the got really pissed at the littlest things, ON MY FIRST DAY!!! Like, I'm still learning how everything works! I had a nice manager (the guy that sold me my car) but the salesmen would order me around like there's no tomorrow. I work at Shaganappi Chev. now, and I've been there for 6 months, trouble free! It's a great working environment, and the pay is rediculous! I won't say how much, but it's $5 over minimum wage... (For you Albertains.)

I assumed that since Northhill and Kramer has the same owner, why don't I get the MSP until today????
