Your pics are the win simply because they're next to the airplanes. You could have photographed a dog turd next to those things and it would still look nicer than any pictures of my car.

HA! Yeah the A-10 Warthog got in the shot. I didn't label it because it was difficult to see hiding back there. The location of the shoot was Eglin AF Air Armament Museum. They have an incredible amount of planes and helo's on static display....my favorite being a rare WW II B-17G...OMG!!!!! It is an honor just to be around that aircraft.

and shouldn't it be SR-21 Blackbird?
edit: no wait a minute, the 22 threw me off, it's SR-71.

Love the backdrops, I wasn't in the air force or anything but was really into planes before I got into cars.

Thanks! I really like the Magnaflow sound. It's not too loud and has a nice deep growl..especially after 2500 + RPM. I wasn't looking for loud or ricey, still wanted to enjoy my Ipod. Best part was it cost $325 installed ..lifetime warranty on the stainless mufflers & tips.

When i was at Kadena, they had a SR-71 take off, first they drove down the runway in a blue elcamino chasing everyone off the runway and ramp, then it came out~ damm thing took off the runway, went vertical and BOOM supersonic going straight up, i swear in under a sec it wasn't even a black speck, it was GONE Why do they take off like that? Security, this way you cant see which direction it flies off in

Watched a f-15 go vertical like that, it was no where near as fast as the blackbird and the f-15 is no slouch either.

Congrats!!!! Nice car and pics! I like the taillights and exhaust. But the rims look like Pontiac G6 rims. Gotta work on that one there!

Does anyone know what kind of rims these are? The lady I bought the car from could not remember the make or where she bought them from. They will have to do for now until I where these tires out and get some Tom Wheels.
