    No, I just used to deliver to them and they were a Lambo dealer, so I figured they could be a Lotus dealer, too. If you go to Lotus' website, they have one deale rin MD and it happens to be them.

    No, I started in this industry delivering and picking up OEM radios. The place I worked for (Caton Radio) repaired them and I'd drop them off and pick up broken ones. $8.50hr.:rolleyes:

    If they even think about doing the S40, they're going to do my Mazda3 instead. Very similar cars other than the drive train.

    And the body styling. Since they look almost nothing alike.

    I agree, no rice. Clean, all black with a simple Polk window decal.

    *scratches head* Other than the Volvo having harder lines and edges, both cars look very similar to each other.

    The Volvo does look better.

    But I'd bet way more parts are available for the Mazda.


    You can ask for no rice all you want but what else has ever come out of Polk and received anywhere near the attention the Civic did? We'll probably build a truck for next year as well, but that'll be as over the top as the Civic. Don't forget we're trying to get attention with these vehicles.

    No dude, sorry, they don't look the same. Infact, IIRC, they do not share any parts at all.

    They share the same chassis, but other than that, I don't think they share much.

    You can get the S40 with the inline 5 turbo motor. Get a chip and exhaust, make it fairly mean ;)

    Youre selling yourself short my brother. What got the Civic all the attention was the install you guys did and the bad **** paint scheme. I drooled over the pics in CA&E for 10 minutes before I even noticed it was a Honda!

    You guys do your usual excellent install and it wont matter if its a Civic, Accord, Mustang or Pinto, its going to get attention. ;)

    Oh, and if you do a truck, may I suggest a 02 or later Ram Quad Cab? I need ideas! :p

    My personal truck is an 02 Ram Quad Cab.

    My work truck is an International. About 15 years old. 7 speed.

    The job I had before this one I drove a new International with 450 hp Cummins engine and 10 speed. Awesome!! Comfy as hell too! The one I drive now is a total POS. :(

    When I was driving over the road I got to drive several. Peterbilts, Freightliners and Kenworths. 10 speeds, 13 speeds even an 18 speed. The best was a Freightliner Classic with a 550 hp Detroit engine and a 13 speed.
