You can't enjoy tunes of your own choosing blasting from some quality speakers without a CD player. You should give it a paint job like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ima...n=5174&s=music or one of these: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&c... &oq=&gs_rfai= but don't get caught with any of this stuff on board: http://www.google.com/images?client=...=&oq=&gs_rfai= Peace my brother |

I kinda like the ambivalence of a hippie paint-theme along with a couple "Protected by Smith & Wesson" stickers. |

Like a cab. leave it unlocked because you don't want them cutting the top to get in. I have not replaced the top on my cab. yet. Ghia Gab sez; it is not a DIY job. I even heard a story of a guy who wanted his top done right so he ships the car to Germany to have it done "right" No one knows what that cost. Now adaze , it's so easy to spend $20K on a car that then is worth $10K -- Money! What a concept. |

Then there's the kids who trick-out a new Lexus to give it that 'gansta' look and wonder why they lost $12K of trade-in value when the dealer informs them they will have to restore the car so it's sellable.

A "PEACE - through superior firepower" bumper sticker would be perfect!

Well, if I sold the car I only needed one buyer. And there is a "value" in having said "custom" car for awhile. This works best if you never intend to sell the car, just enjoy it till one of you dies. remember the guy who wanted to be buried in his Cadillac. "Nice car to drive after a war" said Robert Zimmerman. -- Money! What a concept. |
