Default She's here

I ended up getting that one from Medford, OR. Pretty from afar, far from pretty. It's a driver with chips and scratches, etc. and 129000 miles.

Gassed it up and took for a quick spin to check out and 15 mins later pulled over for no plate. Officer noticed I just got the car so he just said: get it fixed asap. Bracket is coming.

One of my favorite color combinations. Do the maintenance and necessary repairs and make it your own. Drive and enjoy.

Our cars are twins! (Even has weird 'PJ' on tag).

Is the car as expected? (Better/worse?)

Edit; stupid question, but why is the drivers seat always photographed?? (I see it in most ads, pic threads etc)

Big oval exhaust tips, new/painted scratch plate for the ignition key surround, and some seat leather dye, and that thing will be tip top from those photos.

The drivers seat is the best indicator of interior wear. Thats why i always request photos if they're not included in the ad.

The deviated black carpeting is a nice contrast to the otherwise all grey interior. Congrats on the new ride!

Already have the front plate nubs, so no real harm in installing one, but I'd also suggest the tow hook plate holder as an option.

Enjoy the ride!
