That would do the job of scaring would-be vandals away.

I don't know, if they had to fire off the main gun you'd probably have half the glass on the car blow out. Who knows would it would do to the roof and trunk area...

DOH ! hadn't thought of that

Oh well, I convinced the crew of the vehicle to park it on my driveway from now on. The deal is I will detail it for them. I'll have that bad boy gleaming in no time. Just have to get them to spring for some nice HRE Wheels though, I wont be able to do a thing with the oem rims on it as it stands.

And I have to confess . . . thats not my plate :

[IMG][/IMG]

I took a little liberty with the file.

Funny thing about our plate; wifey wanted "Andiamo" ("Let's go . . ." in italian). Andiamo = not available in NYS. Ok ANDIAMO1 was available. Not wild about it but what the hey, wifey actually bought the C5 for me (long story ) so we get it.

Works out well, I figure "hey, its also a 2001, so it also means "and I am 01" great, makes sense.

I cant tell you how many people have looked at that plate and asked me "so . . .you are number one huh?"

I Know, I know, its funny but what am I gonna do. Reg is up right now, Im gonna change it, probably go with something a littel darker, maybe Vampire, I can always change it later.

True story . . .
