But winning blue was 2004 only, as well!

But I'd have to agree with stormy blue being the best color.

you have spoken but not quite clearly enough

sad day you are no longer the person with the straight up answer

Winning blue will always win as long as it is not against a Ti.

I went on a pretty successful date!

I was worried she wouldn't be as cute as I remembered due to the amount of alcohol I had in my system.

She actually was much prettier then I remember.

Winning.

weird, so is it an rx8+ an ls1 and tranny, or is it an actual conversion? Having serious thoughts about an ls-xxx conversion myself, it all started about the time I lost the 2nd engine really. (which was over 3 years ago)

I just like the idea of something going wrong and a trip to autozone will fix it, honestly if I had money to burn I'd buy a prius and drop a 2jz, or v8, or something obnoxious in it just for spite

A guy in my high school had a 1988 Chevy Nova.... It was rwd, and he used to drive into giant piles of snow and them back out and thought it was the coolest thing ever.

So... Funny thing happened today when I put my window down. It didn't want to come back up! I heard what sounded like plastic snapping as I was rolling it down and that was all she wrote! I have taken off the plastic door panel but haven't done anything past that as I was at work and using what little tools my restaurant had available.

Any advice or anyone want to help, I've got a case of beer and some steaks I'd be willing to grill for your assistance. I live by Sea World and am off on Saturday. Let me know! I have a new cell phone, PM if you would like the number and would be able to help.

Here is a link to the manual, goto the body section and see what you are getting into
