Default Car arrived

I bought a 2000 Coupe 6spd from a CF Member and it arrived in one piece before Christmas. Nice gift. Know I am going to try and post some pictures.

Default Resizing pictures, practice, practice, practice









Thanks for letting me practice with the pictures.
I received car and drove 5 miles and put it in the garage for winter
storage. Can not wait until Spring.

Thank you Mike for the smooth transaction.

Nice pics. When you're resizing your pics...I find that 800x600 is the perfect size...fills up the window nicely without any scrolling.

Good luck with the new acquisition

Beautiful coupe, I really like the tails, pipes and the color. (Body side Molding's gotta go in my opinion, but lots of people like it.)

One thing has really got me stumped.

You take it off a car carrier, drive it 4 or 5 miles, then park it and won't drive it again until Spring!!!!! My God, I could never last that long. I drove mine 250 miles home the day I bought it, ran in the house to pee, and left again to gas it up and drive the wheels off it until I was tired enough to come home and go to bed. There is no way I could last till Spring without driving it. Your self control amazes me!

You don't live out side of Chicago with 6 inches of snow, ice and salt on the road. I waited for the roads to dry off alittle and drove where
I store it.

Looks great except for driver's side BSM piece in front of door. It looks like it's not aligned with piece on the door or vice versa Was it re-applied after an accident or maybe added sometime after car was orignally purchased?

In any case, if you remove 'em the car will still look as good as it does with them.

Enjoy your new ride!

I noticed that too. It was not repainted that I can tell. I may have to
remove the BSM.
