I think I shift around 4k when I'm just cruisin, but when I need to pass someone or get somewhere quickly I'll shift around 5k - 5.5k

Cheers ...

Anyone know of any wreckers that have MX-3's within the GTA? I believe the guy I bought my MX-3 from near Barrie said there was a wrecker called Tracy's somewhere west of Barrie that had 3 MX-3's. I'm not sure which models they have or even where this place is located, but he said their prices were ...
