No problem.
I just got engaged...and my house has grown from 4 people to 7! Everything I've sold off my car I've made profit off of. It'll just be cheaper to run stock...keep the mods light...blame my driving skills and not the "parts" when I do poorly. The 3L never got off the ground, TBH.
Long story...anyways...
And also..I like the car...a lot, but I'm not willing to keep dumping $$$ into it just to be beat at the light by sh*t cars. I can still run Gratton and Gingerman track days, Auto-X, and even the all day driving schools. Then in a year after the...(hangs head in shame) mini-van...I can get something a little more race specific.

Nothing wrong with Minivans, son. Welcome to adulthood, and congratulations for not buying into the "SUV" hype.
Not all, but many, of the current crop of "SUVs" are nothing more than glorified minivans, anyway, (with some of the utility removed, I might add.)

RogerB...I hope that you're older than 39...cause I'll be 40 this April. And my girls are 13, 11, 9. Been doing the adulthood thing for quite some time...
And...my other car is a 535i...I have never/would never even consider a SUV (Stupidity UniVersally-applied). Need a truck...get a truck. Need to transport people in comfort and safety...get a Mini-V. Need thrills...my SVT!!
Now...someone cough up a 2000 UIM/LIM combo!!

Well, I'm 37, and my kids are 7, 6, 1.6, and .25.
Congratulations on your adulthood. What's it like? 
Sounds like we're of the same mind on the "Me-Too-V's," but I love minivans unapologetically.
And, sorry about the "son" thing. It was only in jest, and I always thought you were younger.

Well "technically" a 3L is under the 3.1L sedan engine limit for STS class... 
However then adding a LSD bumps you to STX automatically. Bummer...
E - Street Prepared (ESP) is also another possible class choice too.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
