Yeah I know all about breaking in engines, and this one is no different but it's well broken in by now, so a stomping I will go! :) Here's a pic that will sure to please the die hard 510 guys...some goon on goon love! :P

Hey glad you got them! :)

Well which one of us in our 510's don't get compliments about our 510's...but it's a different how do I put it...let's go with 'group' of people giving compliments to my new goon...ones that I'm sure wouldn't do so in my 510's. :P

No one's gonna hate you Bubbi, I sometimes would drive in my Honda CRX, or my Nissan 350Z, or my Miata, or my wife's Honda Accord, or in my Audi....I just don't park it in the mix since it will look out of place in the pictures. :P

Yeah that's why its good to have a warranty with a car right? I did my research so I knew it was going to be more expensive in the long run. I won't be getting cheap $20 oil changes on this like I was used to for most of my other cars, that's for sure, it will be more like $100 oil changes (synthetic plus tire rotations to keep the warranty up) not to mention it only drinks premium gas. Oh well, at least I was aware of all of this BEFORE I plunked down my cash and it didn't sneak up on me, but there is a pretty big difference in the driving experience and not to mention how many compliments I've gotten everywhere I drive her, and these are pretty yuppie places to begin with that I've gotten them from. Heck I just got another two compliments , one on my way in from lunch and an instant message from another coworker who just saw it! So I don't have any plans to used the roof racks for now (I'm buying a pair of bike racks soon though) so for now I took them off to get a cleaner/sleeker look. I decided to ditch the front license plate holder and swapped it out with just the black bar running across the grille.

Thanks Derek! :)

Haha Hainz, I expected no less from you, but again it's meant to replace our already new car not my beloved goon. And again who needs a silly gas hoggin' SUV! It swallowed up 4 wardrobe sized boxes ready to be taken to FedEx with ease!

Thanks Kyle, but driving around in a 44 year old wagon isn't exactly how my wife likes to roll, especially on long road trips. Call me old and soft, but there's just something to be said for having a modern, plush, comfortable, reliable, safe, car with all the latest ammenities...and this one fits the bill while still being suprisingly sporty. :) Laecaon: Thanks, I agree...and like I said, I think it's the best looking wagon available out there. Granted there aren't many wagon choices, but the Cadillac one is way way too expensive and I'm just not a fan of the designs...too many straight lines, looks like a kid with a ruler is designing cars for Cadillac right now. Here it is along the coast in my hometown of Santa Cruz.

Sent you a PM BigBopper805! Thanks.

Well I don't own a 710 goon but I do have a 68 510 goon!

Well it was time to get a car to replace the wife's aging Honda Accord and we wanted something that would be able to handle more cargo carrying capabilities for her business. I personally HATE (with a passion) any and all SUV's and CUV's, and I'm just not a truck kind of guy, so that really narrowed down our search to either a large sedan or...the sweetest looking wagon in the market (in my humble opinion). After getting it the wife was afraid of driving 'such a nice car' so she wants to keep her car and only use this when she needs the cargo carrying use, so guess who drives it daily now? :) So anyway I searched and found exactly what I wanted. I got a Audi B8 A4 Avant, Premium Plus, Quattro AWD system, plus it has the sports package (18" wheels, sports seats, 3-spoke steering wheel) which really help make it look and drive nicer. Plus it came with the Thule aeroblade roof rack, windows tinted, and a Sirius XM satellite radio subscription to boot. I've put about 4K miles on it since the beginning of the year and man it handles awesome! It's plenty fast that I don't miss my 350Z which I sold shortly after getting this. It's super comfortable inside, quiet, the sound system sounds great, has so many bells and whistles it took me a few days to get the hang of how to just turn the heater on! But the heated seats have come in handy for my candy ass cold mornings. And the best part my wife likes...no car payments! I hate giving up my money for interest! :) Anyway on to the pics of my ride, here was my initial meeting 'Patricia' when I went down to Santa Monica to pick her up... More recent pics:

I've got about 1 or two of each of these since there's just not that much demand for these colors: I have some of the red Rising-Sun-Ratsun flags (5 in red and 3 in black) $8 each shipped: And I only have a few of the 510 logo ($6 shipped) and Watanabe Racing stickers ($3 shipped) left:

I have plenty of the white/black/silver ones, and about 10 of the pink ones: $6 each shipped

I'm not looking for that boy racer dual color seats. I like a nice all black interior. :)

You will find you may have your best luck reaching those guys that are consistently on the forums or are recommended by those on the forums, rather than reaching out to random people, like you'll find off of CL or any other various sites.

Yeah just replace the red...thanks.

You can have any color you want...as long as it's black! :P

I've been into 510's since 1990 and I've never seen an original window sticker in person...so unless you're finding a one owner car and that owner kept EVERYTHING, I would say not very likely.

San Jose and we can start spreading the word at this Thursday night meet! :)

How much to reupholster these front/rear seats to all black? [

Umm...the third picture clearly states Panasport stamped on it...so you might want to update your title from Watanbe to Panasport :P

I have plenty of the 5" tall Rat-N-Wrench stickers ready to ship: -White -Black -Silver Only a few of: (5) Red (5) Orange (10) Pink And hade a few more of the (5) Red Rising Flag 3"x9" Sticker ($8/ea) Dean, Emilio, Michel, Steven, and Jon: All your stickers are on their way. Please let me know when you get them, I know some of you guy's orders have been lost in the mail so I want to make sure these get to you. I'm positive I wrote down your addresses correctly each time from your paypal info, heck I even took pics of your envelopes to make sure, but please notify me on here when you get them this week! Hope what arrives is what you were expecting! I appologize for the delay! :)

Sold (3) 510 sedan carpet kits and (1) full 510 wagon carpet kit to fivetenguy (Julio) and shipped off another full wagon kit to Mitchell in Washington. I have more if anyone is interested! :)
