I'm due to be moving out of province shortly so I decided to post a couple of recent pics of my ride, since it might be the last shots I get with Ontario in the background. (Notice the background in the shots--that's a tiny piece of the Ontario landscape). Also, since the car's BC-bound and I understand the Trans-Canada through the Rockies is famous for impromptu land slides, I thought it might be best to get a few shots of my boulder-free sheet metal. (My understanding is that the car tends to look very different if it's caught in one of these rock showers). smile I may post some BC-backgrounded pics at some future date (whether anyone wants them or not). smile

I decided to post links to the pics (rather than the pics directly) since there's quite a few and I didn't want to clog up the thread with my self-gloriying images. By the way, if anyone can photoshop (or whatever) the rather prominent paint chips out of the images of the front of the car, I promise to name a (lesser) peak in the Rockies after you.

Anyway, as promised. Enjoy (or not):

Heck, Paul, I love the paint job and the painted calipers... nice touch. Personally, I'd powdercoat those rims black but only because I think the chrome/aluminum look goes with luxury, not sport.

Overall a very desirable, well maintained car. Be nice to see some B.C. backgrounds when you get there; if you get there boulder-free that is!


Real men drive standard.

Why baby blue??
That's an oft-asked question. The answer is that the paint chip thingy I picked the colour from appeared a bit darker, but now that it's done, you know what--I like it. Now if anyone wants to question my sexual orientation (or whatever) because of it--I say this: like I give a sh*t! Just so long as I get no unwelcome gropes, I couldn't give a rat's bunghole what people think of it.

ROFLOL! What ever floats your rainbow boat smile

Seriously though, the car looks very mean & clean (the valve cover just shows its softer gentler side!)
