Thanks for the heads up on black out tail lights, I'll skip those in that case. I'm not tryin' to get harassed by cops or anything.

Anything done to the car?
No sir -- the car is bone stock. Not sure if I want to sink any money into modding it, I am really happy with the way it is right now.

Haha, yeah I love that shot (my grandparents)...the picture is a little deceiving, the tree is actually pretty out of the way of the driveway, but it still makes it look funny.

Sure did. Picked it up about 2 days after test driving it -- it was just too awesome to let someone else ****** it up.

I guess it was "sitting" for a while because its not exactly in perfect condition -- its got a little road wear damage on the front left QP near the wheel well and some rear end love-tap damage. Other than that, it is the absolute perfect car for me. I picked it up for $19,000 with 38,000 miles.
