Whoa!

That car is older than most of the guys here at NICO! I love it though... totally a utilitarian piece of machinery. Don't even spend money having a body shop paint it... just buy about 10 cans of flat black spray paint, tape off the windows and mirrors... and go nuts!!! Nice car man.

Right on Bandit - That thing is A$$-UGLY!!

Go for the cheapo paint job - I had a CRX painted at Earl Scheib in 1992 for $129, and the damn thing's still shiny (I see it from time to time running around town).

You'll save some serious coin driving that thing around. Besides, you're gonna need it, since you got a girl now... :D LOL
