Default Mike @ IPS Racing is cool.

I stopped by to see Mike and drool over his badass CW R yesterday with a couple of buddies, one who recently got 01-222 back after an accident. He entertained us for a couple of hours and took the 3 of us out for a ride. I called shotgun. He was a great host and I wish money so that I could buy something from him.

But between the 3 of us, we did leave with the following:

5) "That car is NA.....and it's not even tuned?"
4) JDM Recaros fit my bum so nice and snug! Who needs an armrest?
3) Zeal function S6s..........period.
2) The HIDs on the 98R nose are pretty.
1) That car is sweet.

Thanks Mike!

Mike is definitely cool. He waited for me to show up yesterday when he could have just left for the day. Next time I won't get lost and show up at 5 minutes til 6! I got to see his sweet CW R as well. That car is definitely worth drooling over! Hopefully next time I go to IPS I spend more than $42 dollars!

Oh, so that must have been you who was making laps around as we were leaving. I always get lost. I've been there twice coming form both directions, but getting off at the North End is so much easier.

I will *finally* meet Mike (along with a bunch of others) at this coming '02 ITR EXPO! I can't wait. Mike seems like a great guy. I would spend a TON of $$ @ IPS if I had it.

I haven't bought anything from any of the dealers on this board but after looming around this forum for about a year now, I feel like I can trust Mike. He's always been very helpful with my inquiries and he seems to have a lot of good upcoming groupbuys.

except - the Sopranos are in NJ/NY and Mike is from MA...the accents are totally different. You must just know he's Italian.

I always say this when Mike's name comes up - I've never bought anything from him and he's still nice to me. He's the man. I wish I could be at VIR this weekend to take some laps in his kaa (boston pronunciation).

Yeah, that was me taking laps around the block. I am not used to the Boston traffic and roads. The signs are the most confusing thing. Thankfully I made it in time!

Mike is a good guy, but he doesn't mix very good drinks. Mine was pure liquor...!
