Yeah, I know that guy. Cool dude with a great 2002.

As much as I'd love a 2000ca, I don't have the budget or space for a third project car!

Not to wake an old thread from teh dead, but...

You should run it like that all the time - hoodless rules!  Think of the envy you'd inspire in the faux fiber crowd!
