1st driving impressions and newb question.
Well, just took my new 2.5RS out for some minor "spirited driving". As the odo only has 400 miles on it I did not want to really give it to it (I never got it past 4k on the tach).
First imperssions; GOD DAMN! This little car has a TON of low end torque! Very, very torquey, I have owned some V8s and some big American Iron but never have I ever felt this much low end tq. from a four banger.
ALL WHEEL DRIVE IS THE DEAL! I took a very familiar country road tight turn at a decent rate of speed, felt the car slide a bit and just punched it and the all wheel drive just pulled me through the turn in a perfect all wheel drive power slide, so damn sweet and a grin on my face from cheek to cheek.
Guys.........I can only imagine what driving a WRX...or hell an STi is like! DAMN!
O.k., newb question; why can't I unscrew the shift **** on this thing? I bought a nice after market **** and I went to unscrew the factory leather one and it will not come out for me. Any tricks?

Nice 
Be careful, though. AWD gives you better grip but the laws of physics still apply.
The shift **** is a pain to get off (I've read). Probably just gotta keep trying, but you might be safer posting that question in the Interior forum.
