Default Finally made the transition

Well, I have finally done it. I finally got fed up with my 95 Mitsubishi GSX. It is great and all but the all wheel drive is hell on the car. I have an 84mm turbo, large fmic, and a bunch of other goodies on it. But I was just working on it too much and not driving it. I am going to be selling it in a few months. So I went out and bought a 2002 Quiksilver C5 with 55,000 miles on it. Now I have a fast, reliable car that I do not have to worry about.

Congrates on the purchase. It is nice to actually drive the car. No point in having a car you can't drive. The vette is definitely a nice piece!

Enjoy!!!
