Nice, I want a Firehawk to go next to this.. some day
Not cracked yet, there's a small crack under the driver's trim. Just a matter of time. I don't roll my windows down all the way, they seem to bow the panels out and that's what I personally believe does it. But I also use Aerospace 303 on the plastics to prevent UV damage, so it could be that as well.

I dig the fronts, they're kind of unique. (black car is my dad's old car that made me want one since I was about 10)

Either 320 or 325. Depending if it's a 98-00 or 01-02. Love those cars!

I started down that path in 1995. It was fun for a while.

It's a 2000 so no ls6 intake or z06 clutch. Still wouldn't be surprised if it put down 290-300 wheel.

Wow, that's the least you've bashed American cars in many years.

I'm not sure floor mats and leather conditioner count as an interior upgrade.

That sounds about right, I have a lid, but that's more for looks.

I understand it's common for kids now, but most of us didn't.

Didn't know I was bragging about anything. Jealousy is okay though
