In Memory of My 2002 SE
Had it at 41 miles, off the dealership showroom floor, on Feb 19, 2002, until Oct 23, 2011, when it was sold to Carmax. Miss the smooth power of the VQ, but I will have another one in the future.
Here are pictures of it stock just before Carmax, but I'll add other pics below as I dig them up from years past.
Sadly, I didn't take that many pictures of it when it was "done", but this is the best one:
Just before parting out:
Rims/brakes:

It was actually straight sold to Carmax, I didn't have time to get all the little kinks and issues fixed, if not I'd have tried to sell it private party.
Here's a teaser of the new car. Another hint - it is very slow. Will post more when I have time to shoot some non-cell phone pics.

nice man, a nice reflection from start to finish. Did carmax get to keep anything that you did to it?, wish I could have picked up some of those parts from your part out. just wasn't meant to be i guess.
best of luck with the new ride

Thanks. Carmax got my 6G brakes and a Progress RSB that was essentially corroded/fused to the beam, LOL. And the tint. All other mods were taken off and sold separately.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm sure I'll catch up with you guys some time at a local event, maybe get to see your new 5th Gen.
It's probably still in the bushes next to where your mailman took a leak against the house...
Thanks, wish I had more though. I'll still be checking back here for updates to yours (and see how low my Teins are going). The two occasions I was sad were 1) when Albert came to pick up my Track Edition rims and 2) when I pulled the car into the Carmax servicing bay for them to remove the tags and take possession.

Sad to see you sell. You should've gotten a Saab.

Thanks.
As discussed, gave me more than expected, yet it was tough to "dump" a 6MT with black leather/Meridian at Carmax.
Hopefully you can find yourself a clean AE.
