Alright, alright, I'm feeling bad about what I said about the photos, let me rephrase.

I love that colour, and cabs with hardtops are oh-so beautiful, I wish I had one.

You need to get some better photos that do the car justice!

Welcome and good job on posting photos with your arrival

I'm partial to Seal Grey, looks great and welcome!

It's looks great, but there is only one problem. With such a beautiful sunny day, you've got to take your top off and enjoy the freedom!

Great car. Don't forget to join Rennlist.

I'm having a much more difficult time fulfilling my New Year's resolutions.

Congrats on the car.

Do you have to have a front license plate in your state?
I'd lose that in a hurry if not!

Please do me a favour and DONT do this, there are many things worse than a properly mounted and clean front plate, and one of them is a cut up and zap strapped plate! I'm not sure what the laws are in NJ, but here in BC mutilating your front license plate is a more expensive ticket than not displaying it at all.

i am in BC
and we've never had problems
now my car is a big ol ugly battleaxe, if anything the plate makes it look better, haha
I knew some kids who mutilated the plate like crazy, drilling holes all over it, between the letters and numbers and everything
