Nice car! Will be interested to hear how the AWD works out in MI winters.

But DANG the 3GS needs lowering BAD.

Is it just me or does the AWD model appear to sit higher?

And by the way I had a great grad present too, it was called a VW Vanagon. Of course, this was back when the earth was still cooling.

Interesting - is that in specs you've read or just an observation or from somewhere else?

An 06 GS as a high school graduation present - you are very lucky and your parents must be very proud of you, way to go. Just BE CAREFUL - I recommend taking an additional driving course of some kind to increase your driving skills.
