Done before in the past, and haven't had any luck with getting more than 4 votes. I usually do it try to get more people in the contest.

Hm I see. Well, i'll say that your car really dosen't have a whole lot done to it, BUT it is very well kept and clean for an '05, and the mods that you do have are tasteful.

Thanks. My car was for the most is a show car. Damn thing only has 30,xxx miles on it. And plus this is my first "new" car when I got it 4 years ago so I lack the ***** to tear apart a car that is still under warranty.

To the OP not a lot of mods but definitely a clean car.

Interior is plain jane. I got the best interior award here at a local car show awhile back, it was just super clean.

We had a GM Small Car Show back in 2005 over in Indy. GM gave them to us to pass out and we had a box or so left over. I gave the rest out at a local car show I helped judged. They were all yellow so I had to spray paint the ones red. Which would explain why I'm missing the headlight from the one red one. It was the first one and things usually break for me when I have no clue what I'm doing. The orange one came from Walgreens.
