thanks to all. your guys rock! I just drove my parents xr6 and I find it a much more comfortable ride that my commy. much smoother. I really think I will go for the turbo. its just the stereo. argh so frustrating. good to hear I wont be a cop magnet anymore! I get so many dirty looks in my commodore. im an ambo too so im used to waving at cops and other ambos and fireys as I go past, so when I do it in my car they think im being a smart ass and I think they want to follow me home so they can give me a fine for whatever they can make up. cheers for all the help again. youve all been really helpful.
