Always a sad time of the year when you put it away and park it

He painted the spoiler black on purpose. The hood is now painted. He bought the car for $500 and just bought the hood in that pic ($500 hood) . Car also now has black Cobra rims on it. Now he just needs to make it faster. He also wants to have the whold thing repainted.

It sucks having to put cars up for the winter. I havn't even seen mine for two months now. I have to go over and swap the seats this week. I might have to take it for a spin around the parking lot.

By the thread title I thought you had gotten rid of your car.

In the winter I drive my TA when there's no crap on the roads.

The turbo Spirit is a fun toy, but that's it.
