Default Re-Introduction

Hey all,
Some of you probably know me from around, but I signed up last year, and basically didn't post at all. Lurked some, but I'm going to try to be more active over here this year. I'm from the NW burbs of Chicago. And now for a couple refresher pics, because hey, why not?

Thanks all!
I'm a pretty proficient photoshopper, but my sig was actually done by a buddy on another forum because I get bored working with my own photos haha.

The first picture I took is of the midwest monte carlo show that takes place in Saint Louis, MO. I went to college down there and went to the show the first 2 years with my 98, and last year (the third year of the gathering) with the 06. Takes place the first saturday in october. I took the second pic behind a gas station off of I-55 on the way back.

I've always liked silver cars but the red spoke to me.

yep!

I almost forgot my mod list:
- front and rear stb's
- 4 inch rolled tips
- SS headrests
- OEM kickplates

ahahahhahaha... i'm takin it slow...

I'd consider my style as 'upgraded stock'. I like my car to look like it could have come that way from the factory, but you know something's different. That being said... I like the MPD hood and I know that's pretty flashy. Some new classic 5 spoke rims would be fun too, but I'm one of those weird people that gets attached to the stockers.
