I guess the moral of this story is: "What's your cute friend's number?".

Anyhow.  What mods do you have on the GLX?  I've got a totally stock
GLX, and the only mildly annoying thing i notice is that 2k to 4k rpm
torque is a lot lower than 4k to 6.5k torque.  After driving a BMW 325i
for a few years, this was kinda a letdown.  BMW's are excellent for
torque from about idle to explode.

All in all, though, the GLX is a much more family oriented car, while
still retaining incredible sportiness.

Personal note...  Yellow badges?  <shudder>  :)
