Your Car - Then and Now Pretty self explanatory, post a picture of your car way back in the day when you bought it, and another in its current state ... here's my two 
My Black Camaro, in the Dealer lot, circa '05:
How she sits now:
And my SS
(not many changes yet since it's only a few months old, nor will there be any, since it's a 35th LE 
)
In the dealers lot:
And just a few days ago:

i already like this thread.
My first car!!! bought it back in ’06. this is the original craigslist add I printed the morning I went to pick it up, 3/11/06 at 10:27am
This was how it looked around a year ago.
AND NOW!!! 4 long years, and 46,000 miles later….
Cleaned out/ detailed/ painted the engine bay this weekend.
And then I acquired the LS1 Power back in august ’09, and made some huge differences pretty quick…

Then 5/04 it was bone stock right down to the paper air filter and stock radio. the radio was replaced when i got home with an mp3 player out of the red tbird in the background. come to think of it the first and 3rd pic wer taken on 4/28 when i test drove/put an offer in on the car. I had to wait till that weekend to actually pick it up because it took me a few days to get the cash. pic #2 was taken the day after i bought the car at an fbody meet.
now (well the last time i took decent pics which was last fall, nothing's changed since then)

haha quit busting my ***** CRIMSON!!! but yeah I have some time this week, since it's spring break to do some stuff. So I'm gonna be retinting my side markers, third brake light, and driver side tail (sanding off the lettering this time and painting the torx screws that are brown for some reason), washing the whip and putting on my matte black stripes, installing my matte black corsa clones, getting new exhaust hangers since I broke all of mine in a freak incident, doing some custom suede interior parts (shifter/ebrake boots, console lid, instrument cluster, and maybe the glove box and underneath the steering column depending on how much 3 yards of microsuede will cover), cleaning the underbody w/ a brush and some degreaser, possibly repainting the ttop bar black, dying my floor mats black or ordering lloyds, etc. ..... one word.....fuckuhmylife

I bought the car in 7/2005.. These pics were taken shortly after
And as of today, the car is in storage sitting on the stock wheels and tires. But here are some pics from over the summer time when I was on my TTMs. I have since sold the TTMs, bought brand new C6 wheels with new tires that I am waiting to put on once I take the car out of storage
