A couple pics of that were posted the other day. Nice car, but the color choice is not very appealing. Must be a Green Bay Packers fan.

Some ideas are just better left on paper...

Can't tell if the inspiration was Mello Yello or Sprite... Could be Squirt!

That will get your attention. Opening the door kills the sale ....interior/exterior color combo is horrible IMHO.

Well, aside from the paint job I think its a good price. I don't care for yellow or green on a car anyways, so I would have it painted, but $24K for an 03Z with less than 40K miles on it seems like a deal. Besides, the car does not have any other tacky mods to it, like an engine covered in bent pieces of polished stainless steel, and it appears to be well taken care of.
