I love my car, i was going to sell it to buy an SUV but at these gas prices, i'll stick with "WHITEY" (my car's name).....

only 93K miles on it.... new brakes Drums, shoes, calipers etc....

Any ideas what else i should to to my car for the summer prep, in terms of INternal, engine etc.... i change my oil ever 3k miles... did a tranny flush last summer... changes power steering oil, brake oil, etc.... any ideas?

But first of all, replace that rubber antenna with a metal one :lol: that bending is no good at all :D

Did you get the name of the A-hole who hit your car? Somebody did the same to mine last winter but stuck around to find the owner and fess up to the damages, thankfully.
BTW your car looks real sharp, I agree with your decision to stay away from the SUV and keep your GA.:cool:

Nah, i didn't get the name it happened over night while i was at home, maybe the guy was drunk or something...

Thanks, i try my best to beep it looking sharp, since it white, in NYC it gets dirty really really really fast....

and i get better gas miles than an SUV, so i'll keep my baby....


i love whitey!:lol:

car is looking good! i like the style of the rims, they flow well with the car! for engine bays mods, you could do a Cold Air Intake or a box intake from doctorspeed.com or some other sites that sell them. you could do an SLP exhasut or a Borla exhasut. (when you get teh rear bumper fixed, looks liek you'll have to end up buying a new one, but get a GT bumper. if you get the borla or SLP the tailpipes will line perfectly with the GT bumper, just a thought :) ) over all the car looks REALLY nice! clean too

Not liking the rim style or size but they arent THAT bad.
You need to fix that bumper real quick like, nothing i cant stand more is a car with mods but yet the body is smashed, dented, scrathed etc.
Keep the antenna, looks better than the metal ones.
Get rid of that trailor hitch, i doubt you tow anything anyway.
Im not a fan of the wind deflectors either, they just look cheap.
