Here we are . . I just decided Well this may have been the hardest decision I hard ever made. I love my car. . Well ALOT! You can ask My wife she will tell you 
I bought with 17k miles on it under factory Warranty still less then two years old. Here we are coming up on ten years I have owened it. I have not Daily driven it since 2003. A few days when it is nice here and there but nothing more.
The time has come. My wife said she new years ago. I had no clue and I am still in denial. I even bought a new set of street wheels and tires for it. Then again due to the need to stay legal I installed a full Chrome Moly NHRA cert Cage with all the safety equipment. For the need to get it hooked I bought a new MADMAN suspenion setup.
So with 56k miles on her she Is now going to be a street legal race car. I will keep all the power stuff and heater inside the car but alot of the heavier stuff is going to go.
Do not worry you will still see it on the street and it will still be sexy as hell but the time has come. Heck I might even take her to a car show or two again
BTW NO I will not be shooting for the number one slot. that Is Ryans Job and I will lay money he has it covered

"I" knew it the first time I drove it when it gave me whiplash...I haven't voluntarily driven it since 
and I think that was in '01...I used to LOVE driving it before that..Thats why I had to buy my own..I couldn't drive his anymore and my V6 just wasn't cutting it
