Very nice car! I would've signed your guest book, but didn't feel like registering for car domain. I'm too lazy.

I know that, but I just hate signing up for stuff. Half the time they ask you a billion things and it takes you ten minutes to type it all in, and the next thing you know you end up with even more spam. No thanks.

Thanks for signing my guest book, I haven't decided which rims to buy yet, but I have some time I have to save some reserve money for insurance and gas prices are hard on the pocket also.

if you're on a budget for wheels get your stock wagon wheels powdercoated or painted.... mine are painted cause tire changes allways cause some scratches and you can cover them up easily w/paint...

I love my car, when I drive it to work it makes me feel good. When I walk by the car while I am at work it makes me feel good. I love the v-8 torque instant power everywhere in the power band in almost any gear. I am really suprised how hard it pulls in the upper end 4000-5800 it pulls real hard. I am suprised I thought the power would drop off a bit in the upper end boy was I wrong.
