Finishing up with paperwork and the V should have a new home by the weekend. Here are some of the pics I took today:

Pretty much everything is going with it. I have a Wolf custom fit NOAH cover(cost me $200). I also have one of Heavy's fire extinguisher brackets.

Thank You. The wife just started nursing school, we have an 18 month old and my work has slowed to about 5-8 days a month.

Great car, you made the V-Community proud during your ownership. Good luck in the future, and I am sure you will be back.

Truthfully I think the Gen 1 looks much better. I would rather buy another Gen 1 for 20k and sink 20-30k into mods than spend 50k+ on a Gen 2.

Thank You. I will definitely be back, its only a question of when at this point.

They are the standard CCW's which are 19x10.5 rear(pretty sure) and 19x9 front. They currently have 275/35-19's and 245/40-19's. These tires were on the wheel when I bought them from the previous owner and he went with the 275's because of the price difference. If I was keeping the car they would be getting replaced with 305/30's in the rear.

I appreciate it. I have a 1 year 4 month countdown going in my head.(when she finishes school).

Get some Adams metal polish. Best there is by far. I used it on my CCW's on my F-body and my True Forged wheels on my Cobra. Just a quick wash and adams polish will have them looking just like new. I would give you a link but they are a non sponsor. Also get some poorboys wheel wax. It keeps water spots and brake dust away longer than bare polished aluminum.
