Just some background… this swap was done by a guy’s wife as a memorial, after he died in a helicopter crash in the US; after surviving 5 tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.

That’s pretty sweet of his wife. But why a GTO? Didn’t this board reach a consensus that GTO’s suck?!! She should have rocked out a STi or a civic hatch. Then and only then would this memorial truely be sweet. ---
