    Re: 10 things you LOVE about your 3GEE

    1. Color.....nobody around here has a light blue car, so my car stands out.
    2. Driving position.....you sit low in the car, which reminds me of a sports car sort of.
    3. Power Steering.....the steering at parking lot speeds is so light and easy which makes parking way better. I dont even have to use 2 hands.
    4. Gas mileage......I can go 2 or so weeks without filling up, and thats only on $20 of gas. My friends usually fill up way more often than i do.
    5. body kit
    6. tint
    7. The size of the car is perfect....its not big on the outside and its not small inside.
    8. The heater works damn good.
    9. Engine sound....even though i dont have and engine mods the engine still sounds more agressive than most of the 4-cylinders i hear around here
    10. The 5-speed is what makes this car. I dont think i would like it with an automatic.

    10/22/06- 120,003 miles 1/09/09- 139,000 miles
    11/29/07- 127,945 miles 3/09/09- 141,000 miles
    03/01/08- 129,000 miles
    10/19/08- 136,000 miles

    Re: 10 things you LOVE about your 3GEE

    1)Flip ups
    2)Small on the outside yet big on the inside
    3)can take any turn at any speed, especially with my new suspension and wheels
    4)doesnt have all the computer crap
    5)its 18 years old, gets better gas mileage and is way more reliable than any of my friends cars which are all 1996 or newer and as a result we take every road trip in my car no matter how far we have to go
    6)i drive it a lot, road trip every weekend during the school year, every other weekend during the summer
    7)style
    8)everyone loves it
    9)its as quick as i need a car to be
    10)the list goes on and on with other things but most importantly are all the memories in it. Since me and my friends drive my car everywhere there has been so many memories and it doesnt seem like its going to end anytime soon. Next summer we plan on touring the country from coast to coast, that will be fun.
