Hey!!

Gimme back my car! This town is too small for two Baltic Blue S2s!

What interior color do you have?

I don't know whether to shake your hand or flip you off..... just kidding... is your interior blue? My interior is two tone... linen lower and dark blue upper... see pic... Tell me more about your ride? Year?, any mods?,etc.. as you can see I've done something pretty phenomenal with my license plate frame... ha/ha!

I see that you've come up with a work around for your front plate... but you've got your bracket there so your plausible deniability excuse is out if you get pulled over. :-)

Alpine CDA-9856.. Gotta love the iPod jack input. I wired it through the back of the little cubby space.

Veneta is a booming city of 8k . Its just on the outskirts of Eugene. Approx 10-15minutes from UofO. I was up there 4 months ago and it's great!

Have the exact same HU. The red lights match the gauges perfectly. I ran my IPOD wire into the center console armrest.

Your interior looks great. Almost as good as mine

I've only just begun on my interior.... :-)

I'm not mechanically sound... but I can clean REALLY good.

That was a pic of when I bought the car. I finally put the front plate back on after a near beheading... Besides, it covers up that horrible scrape in the bumper. Yeah, I need paint.

Mine is an 89 with a complete blue interior. I think I like the two tone much better.

No mods on the car, other than some koni adjustables and removal of the evil brake coolers. Work great in the summer, but after about ten miles or so on the freeway in the rain, it is a little uncomfortable trying to stop with wet brakes.

Probably have the most cracked dash in existance in that car. Sat for five years in Arizona before I got it. I have a really nice newer dash to install, but it has been on the list for about two years now.

Again, this is picture of when I bought it, I have fixed the interior up a bit more than what you see.

Very cool Stickshift. Thanks for the scoop on your ride. I'm going to have Guys Interior on NE Alberta do the install of the new cover on my dash. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'll keep an eye out for you.. :-)
