For some odd reason, I kind of like it. Maybe a T/A rear deck though.

I think it looks mean! Definitely looks like it means business. The wife and I just did our taxes. I have to find someone who can do a really good paint and body job on my 95 formula.. The only problem is, I have to stick to a budget of about $2500. (lmao.. my tax return was $2519).
