Oh well, guess I'll go get my Vette dirty so I have to Frikkin clean the bitch again. I love my car, mostly.

Simply spectacular, in my opinion of course
Not to detract from any of the other cars, the photograph is just so impressive.

I’m not kissing AS* because I went over the edge
I really mean this;

This IS THE MOSTEST BESTEST THING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD.
Seriously, anybody would have admire this car and photograph

Guess what I was doing on the weekends?
That's funny Ed. Kinda hard to believe that someone would purchase a Harley and didn't even know how to ride one. Oh well... your gain !!

Yeah, you should have seen her when she walked out of the house for her first attempt at learning how to ride wearing black leather chaps & matching jacket, motorcycle boots, and a brain pan helmet.

Yes I do have a problem with that. Those cars go to fast and that is against the law. Being a law abiding citizen I choose not to break the law. I had 4 of those wire things that connect to those spark plug things removed from my car. Now it has 133HP and won’t go over the posted speed limit.

Yes, you should be ashamed of yourself

This my 133 HP car. I have had the spoilers painted a flexible gloss black at a body shop to mach the car. They are actualy more shiny than the car paint. It's lowered on the stock bolts and has just
about 2.5" clearance from the pavement to the leading edge of the center spoiler. It's a PITA going around speed bumps and uneven surfaces, but it's worth it to me. I only drive it when I feel like it so it doesn't have a lot of PITA to deal with. I'm going to change my signiture to reflect it's present look. It is a HUGE difference from the dull flat look of the rubber unpainted spoilers.
