I plan on doing alot of maintanance work this summer on it to have the engine compartment all nice and clean looking. I just wanted to say that i will be loading up on the questoins on all of you, seeing as im just 17, i hope i dont take a beating from the older generation. Later

How did i manage to stay away from the rice???? Well, quite easy. See, those cars simply suck. Why spend more money on a little 4cyl car with a stupid wing and body kit when you can get a classic muslce car, which in my oppinion blows those wimpy cars off the road! :lol:
