Have you had it repainted?

The NYS Thruway is slowly killing my car and it just pisses me off. Man I need some anger management classes
PS is amazing isn't it? Nicks are invisible to even the best photographer...

Still original exterior and paint...there's some good nicks and plenty of specks on my hood but no dents thank God!

I forgot to dim the G2X...ooops...good thing I didn't have the Auterra/Palm and Ipod screens on too...yes, I think I have ADD, OCD, XXD...or maybe I'm having issues dealing with having failed my photo lab classes while in college?



I see what you mean...


Great...another reason for me to envy your car......it just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter

Hey MSFITOY do you have any leads on a Audi tt shift boot. I have been following links and they have all turned up empty. Could you maybe talk to the Audi guys this weekend. Thanks, Chris.

From what I've seen of the TT boot transplant, I can't say it looks pretty...still better to jack some guy with a Tiburon boot! Just don't touch mine...
