Different strokes for different folks. I'm not tinting the headlights/foglights and I have different wheels. Most everyone will be seeing my tail-lights and not the front-end anyhow

Last summer about a month after I bought my car, a lady parked next to me and opened her door into mine while I was still sitting in the drivers seat. She looked right at me and she had to of known she hit my door, because it wasn't a little tap, there was a decently loud thump and you can usually feel when your door hits someting. I was even more pissed when she didnt even have the decency to apologize to me when i got out of the car. The only reason i'm not in jail is because my sister happened to be in the car and calmed me down before I did anything stupid.

I know mine is only a v6, but its still my baby.

Opinions are like a**holes.. we all got one. While I dont like the wheels, I think the hood looks nice.

Damn Danny, sucks about the hood. I think it will look bad *** when you get the new one on there though. Now it will look as fast as it runs!!

V6 or V8, same thing. If that had been me, I would've gone bonkers. I don't want to make the wrong impression, I'm not a tough guy or anything... actually, I'm only 5'9" and OLD. But I have a bit of a temper, and stuff like this makes me snap. Theft, vandalism, and litter. Those three things make me crazy because they're selfish, inconsiderate acts. Like I can just hear the person saying "not my problem" as they're doing it. UGH!

Better get off my soap box before you guys have me institutionalized.

You're both quite right...

opinions, much like ********, are completely indiferentialble *made up word* from truth.


The car I said looks 'terrible and nothing like what I would want' is gorgeous.

I love it. Love it more than any car I've ever owned. I wanted one for years, literally YEARS. And I can now say I'm driving my dream car.
But today (a beautiful spring day in the pacific northwest) this happened:




Had the car parked at my work (I work at a hardware store in a fairly nice town) and was chatting with a friend outside when he noticed the gouges on the cobra.
It's only the driver's side emblem and they didn't do too much damage to the paint, but still. What. The. Hell.
Damn people. I'm gonna check security cameras tomorrow and see if they caught the ******* that did this, but I doubt it.
So, that's what happened to me today.....
If mine, I would get another emblem and affix it just slightly over the paint scratch...Likely only you would know...

p.s. existing emblem comes off easily (with zero damage) using a hair dryer followed by a long length of dental floss...

I like the look of your car, but I like the look and performance of mine better
