Bloo got adopted two weeks ago. He came at a really bad time , my van had just blown up. I wasn't in buy a new (to me) car mode so the money was being diverted to other causes. That and work has gotten really crazy. Bloo is certainly due some suspension work but first I'm gonna tackle getting it Juiced. That and these suck semi-rural Mississippi roads suck so clearance is a necessity. I am trying to get myself moved back up to Michigan and the company HQ, there I can pull it off better.

They are BBS RC323 (ET35 7J x17 70mm CB). I think they fit the old 90s scirocco (not sure if you guys got those?) but not certain - also the supers were on my old car, I need to update my sig

Yeah, this is the plate:

The wife didn't want the car to have two dudes punching each other or it would have been this:


The sad thing is earlier this year there was some controversy over the State wanting to put Nathan Bedford Forrest on a plate. He was the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. I guess that isn't too far off base for a state that still has a confederate flag for their state flag.

That's just cloth electrical tape, AKA Friction Tape.

Great looking car! I love that color combo.

Very nice wheels. Sporty and relatively understated. Too many wheels take too much of the attention away from the car, IMO. Great size, too, especially once you have it lowered.
