LOL; reminds me of old Polaroids--haha

Is it just me, or does the SHO just make you go crazy? I love my car.

HAHA; yes! I feel old now that I remember having to do that.

I've been farting around with abstract effects--really loving this new Nikon D90; such an awesome camera!

I'm an olf fart too... And I haven't really loved a car in a decade... until my SHO! 
I wake up in the morning, ugh  :- ... drag myself around trying to get everything moving right and dreading another workday, get dressed  :freak2: .... go to the garage.....
and like magic...a smile comes on my face.  ;D  Because I get to drive my car to work!  :banana:

second childhood I guess... LOL

That is exactly how I feel man!

The only thing I'm worried about is the miles. The car will be a year old in May and I have 20k on clock already. I may buy a fuel efficient beater next year for work; I love my SHO because it's extremely comfortable and I do 100+ miles day for work; but damn at this rate in 3 years I'll be 60k on clock.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

HAHA; you know -- I was wondering; is 60k in 3 years bad? Cars have advanced like mad since the old days when 12k a year was a lot.

Thats probably the best angle for the car. When I walk up to it in the right light it looks amazing. The backend is like acne with the peeling chrome on lights lol

Nah, 20k a year ain't nothin' tooday!  I put 30K on my '95 the first year, didn't think twice about it.  100% go, 100% fun.  Would have driven it more given the chance, but I got a used '92 and put some miles on it too.

I was wondering that myself; good to hear -- I really don't want another car because I love driving my SHO. It's so great on those LONG drives every day. I spend about 4 hours day in my car commuting.

I should note 4500 of those miles was a week long trip to Texas. :)
