Heheh....I know I probably won't get too many replies here, but I don't mind. I felt like posting some pictures since I haven't in a looooong ass time :)

- Completely stock -- even took out the reverse indiglos b/c they quit working awile ago :(
- About to turn 309k miles
- Runs and drives mint
- Definite "work in progress", as it has been for about the last 2 years, lol (yea, I'm slow, haha)

I had just finished washing her when I took these pics this afternoon, so she's nice and clean :) . It's amazing what a toothbrush and some cleaner can do for your wheels in all those little turbine thingys. Really makes a difference!

I'm ordering new rocker panels and rear wheel well arches to get rid of my rust, hopefully once and forall. Also getting a new front bumper and getting everything in the front straightened out, so that will definitely be an improvement. Then after that some window tint, paintjob, and then go from there. Someday soon, I tell you....she will look sexy once again :)

Nope :D She's my baby. I'd :crying: if I had to get rid of her. I'm too attached! :lol

Believe it or not the pictures make it look a little better than it actually looks in person (usually works the other way, lol). There's quite a few scratches and dings, and a few tiny tiny little dents here and there. The rust isn't really that bad (compared to some I've seen), and is definitely still fixable. Nothing too major though

Thanks for the kind words ;)

Thanks for the nice comments guys! It really does make me feel better :D The sun has been very good so far. Nice and sunny pretty much every day, and around 70-75 degrees so it's been perfect. We've had a few cold fronts come through and it's gotten kinda chilly (I even used my heater the other night on my way home from work @ around midnight), but nothing that has prevented me from going out in a t-shirt, hehe. I'm sure once summer rolls around though, the sun will be blazing hot, but I'll have my A/C fixed by then :D

Can't say I've been to Club Boca quite yet. Only been down here about a month and a half, so I really haven't been anywhere yet, lol. I need somebody to do stuff with, heh.

I'd like to see a 3G that mint here in MN. Salty roads = rust waiting to happen.

It's a 3G HD! :lol . I know, it doesn't look that great. If I really fix up the car and start doing stuff to it, the hitch will definitely come off. I especially don't want to tow my trailer if I lower my car, lol. That thing sure did come in handy with my move last month from IL to FL though. In the pic above (taken in Clanton, Alabama), you see everything I own on that trailer, in the trunk, and in the backseat. I didn't have to ship a single thing -- thank god because that would have cost a bit since most everything was pretty heavy, heh.

Good 'ol 3g never missed a beat on that trip.... :)

Clean ride. I also like the setting. I've always thought the plantlife in Florida reminded me of Jurassic Park. I always expect a T-Rex to come walking out of the trees. :D
