I haven't had a chance to take any really cool pics yet, which is a bummer since I'm into photography and photoshop quite a bit, but I figured I'd post the pic I have for the heck of it.

As I said in my introduction post, it's all stock as of now, but I hope to do some things to it in the near future.

I'm normally not into putting stickers and stuff on my cars, but I found this on my last trip to LA (before I even began looking at new cars), picked it up for the heck of it, and the color ended up matching my car perfectly, so I decided to put it in;

Yeah, it's Vader... as I said, I haven't really had a chance to get any good pics, just took a few quick shots a couple days after I got it. Been wanting to get some better ones, but it won't stop raining :(

The car is in great shape... one small ding on the driver's side, and a few scratches and chips on the paint. The hood has a lot of small paint chips that are noticeable close up, but I'd really like to get an aftermarket hood anyways.

It has about 99,000 miles, but was apparently taken care of extremely well by the previous owner. The interior is nearly flawless (I do need to clean the carpet a bit), with no burn holes or anything... which is surprising since I found a "roach" in the console :lol: . The kenwood stereo that was in it was about $700 new also.

I managed to get it from a dealer for $4500. I've had it for nearly a month and haven't yet found any major mechanical problems. The front brakes were sticking and rubbing pretty badly, but I was able to fix that myself for about $80, pads included. Rear brakes are next (not rubbing, but worn and possibly need rotors replaced).

Also, the blower knob on the A/C / Heater is broken, though the switch functions properly. Something I can probably fix pretty easily if/when I get some free time.

I'm right down by the state line. About halfway between Detroit and Toldeo, OH.

Hopefully it won't be raining on my day off (Tuesday) and I can get some proper pics taken. I'm also still trying to figure out my new digital... I had just gotten used to my old one, and it got stolen when I was on tour in Europe last year :(. My new camera's a lot nicer, but more complicated.

that broke on mine as well. i don't think you are able to fix it by yourself. if you have a warranty on your car then they'd be able to do it
