I put 250 miles on her today. I haven't looked forward to washing and waxing a car since I was in highschool like I do right now. Here's a couple maybe a few more after I get her waxed and cleaned up. Where's the avatar master at when I need him lol.





Two at the mcdonald's beside the dealership and another one at the house real fast after I got her a little dirty.

Yeah, the polished ones. I finally took it for a spin and grabbed the first two gears in it. I was seriously missing some horses in my stock 93 compared to this thing. I smiled for about a half an hour after that lol. Going from regular radio, to having Sirius, 6 disc CD, and an Ipod is ridiculous I don't know how I lived without that either.

Love that Alloy color. My advice is to drive it stock for a bit and to plan your mods before you rush out and do them. Congrats! Those wheels are nice!

I am thinking exhaust, CAI and tuner and not just b/c of the wonderful suggestion up above. I like the sound, a little more HP, and I want chrome tips. I love the sound of an x pipe cross-over, but I am not sure a catted X and SLP will be tolerable. I am 24 it's not like I can't handle some loud exhaust, but I want to be able to hear and talk on the interstate too. I know there are entire threads on exhaust, and I have read them. Do you guys have a preference on a catback with a catted X? I really don't mind a little race car sound.

my advice is not to park in a mcdonalds lot or you will have dings all over your car in no time; most of us never park anywhere there is a chance for some moron to slam you car. good luck

Yeah good advice. I never left it I was just waiting on the guy that gave me a ride down there to get out of the bathroom.

If someone would have slammed a door into that thing with 3 miles on it, then it would have been a bad day for me to have a CCP. I could handle someone calling me every name in the book and trying to start a fight with me and I would just have walked away, but that might have been too much to cope with and not snap lol.

Here's a pic after I waxed it today, but it doesn't look any shinier. Maybe it's just the light I guess.
