Woot. Love blue mica color. I just can't capture all the color shading. This color looks much better in person.

oem exhaust was too quiet. You won't regret with aftermarket exhaust and springs!

Thx. I love the drop. Its perfect for the daily use. It was same comfortable ride going back home. I need to drive more to feel it but ride feels similar.

An older guy in a Corvette gave me a thumbs up today. I agree with him, this car is pretty sweet.
