Besides the obvious...

Besides the obvious awesome things about your car....what is your most favorite?

Your favorite is probably my least favorite. They look nice but i get so much noise from them, they really bother me. My favorite thing is the lines on the fenders, it just looks so good the way they flare out just a bit.

I like the ergonomics of the interior. Everything is placed just right, exactly where you expect it to be.

I love the history behind the car and the fact that it's lost on 99% of the folks around here.

I love the fact that I can haul about 60ft^3 of gear in back and that comparitively I can still smoke even a Dodge Magnum (no matter how much he's carrying.)

I love the fact that if you put a capable driver in my car on a road course, there aren't too many that could hang with the wagon...of course, if I were driving, even Yugos would be passing me like I was standing still.

I would have to say that I like the lines created by the fenders/fender flares, however, for me, this is ONLY on the 02-03 bugeyes, because I swear their fenders are flared wider than the 04+ subies. Thats my fav part of my car......well.....I really like the look of the rear end too.....Subies have some of the sexiest azzes I have seen on a car IMO.

Have you ever seen a locksmith get into a car with frameless windows? I saw it on my roommates car once, and needless to say I'll never have to call one for my car. I wish they had frames so they weren't so easy to break into.

wow, these descriptions iare hot and heavy than reading a romance novel...

i would have to say its a tie between knowing your car can smoke a corvette in the quarter and on the track but has half the cylinders, and those amazing fenders, its such a perfect look, not too agressive, not to conservative. just perfect

I like the hos that it attracts. I just call it the "Ho Train."

Just kidding.!

I like the fact that it is the King Ricer. Rice respects me, and that's what I strived to do; get respect from all the fast 16 second Civics in the area.

Ok, I'm just kidding again.

Seriously, I don't know what I like the most about it. I just like it. I guess if I really had to choose something, I would say that I love the look out over the hood scoop.

I like when I'm going full-on and I can kind of see it "lift" with every gear that I row through. It's just feels so "classic Hemi."

The thing I hate the most about it is that I have to make a payment on it every month.

The sound...pure and simple. Nothing out there sounds like it. Of course freeing the beast is essential to getting the right sound out of the EJ...but damn, it's like milk and cookies....just can't get enough.

+1 one for the sound. Motors power to weight ratio. My short block comes in at about 79lbs. It is be producing about 400chp. Not bad.

True, gotta love the sound. Ever since watching an episode of "Getaway In Stockholm" I've had this thing about quick-shifting and just running full-boil up to near redline in almost every gear.

The sound.

Of all the things that annoy the hell out of me with my car, the beautiful rumble of the engine has to be my favorite aspect. Nothing else like it, a truly unique sound.

I love the appearance of the interior. The seats look great. Too bad they're not as nice to sit in as they look.
