It's always fun to wake people up with your car as long as you don't drive into their house ;D

thanks ive put a good 5500 into her since i bought her lost year i paid about 3000. I hate to say it and i hate myself for not doing more often but as far as i know the car probably hasnt been waxed since at least '06 when she was last fully insured. She was probably washed about 2 weeks previous to the ride (mind you we have had a lot of rain). The paint was probably done in '06 as well and really doesnt look that great now, theres a whole bunch of spots in the hood and roof where the clearcoat are starting to see through. It looks like it wasnt sanded down properly and if you look in the right light you can see a whole bunch of low points on the hood, the trunk is all scratched up and the hood is as well (just a little) because of my dumb cats that like to climb on things. also on the roof there is a line of masking tape residue where we had to cover it up as the rear window was broken. But thanks for the compliment lol i just think the photos i took had to be in the right light.
