Car's Main Use: Weekend Toy/Auto-x

I initially bought the car to travel to college and have something more friendly to drive than a Ford Ranger. It did not take long for the mod bug to catch on and for me to start tinkering with the car. Some of my initial mods were definitely not the most subtle and have since been removed and replaced. I never thought I would meet so many friends and people just from buying an inexpensive car (at the time). My aspirations are to get more free time to make my car as beautiful as the chukker's LG car.:rock:
