Car looks good, even for night pictures. Love the wheels. So what do you think of the loudmouth exhaust? I love the sound!

i went there last year... stayed in Reykjavik and Vik - absolutely stunning.

But man, you only have RT 1 thats paved right? I saw more rigged up 4x4's there than I ever thought imagineable - this car is certainly rare up there!

I thought Iceland was one country that made and used its own gas. Or it was one of those viking places. Will you drive this year round? They're not great in rain, worse in snow. At least you probably won't have to worry if your AC quits.....

Is this true? what a pain in the *** that would be if it was, not that there aren't ways around it or anything....
I believe that because... well thats how it is here in Finland, I got to run 275/40/17s though... Car is put on a shaking machine yearly to test suspension, smog test, and a technician even gets to take it on a small course to test the braking and handling.

I spoke to one person from Iceland and I believe our gas prices are pretty close, in the summer something like $6-$7 a gallon...
