Default Strangest Thing Happened

Last Friday I got up and decided to take a ride in my 99 Coupe pictured below.



I saw this 2003 Coupe on a dealers lot.



After some discussion a great deal was made including swapping my Crays and tires with the thin spokes that were on the 2003 and homeward.

As for mods, the first group already ordered.
