^^ hes just kiddin =P

i really really like this one though
looks way better than the one at my school, its yellow, and makes me sing (to myself) the spongebob squarepants themesong when ever i see it.

Props on taking a car im not partial to and making me consider, eventually, but not likely, owning one.

Does that roof deflector help with mileage? I hear the bike racks make the mileage take a hit with the disruption they create.

Those plates are so great.

The car looks like a toy model in the first few pics.

Looks good to me.

Smoked in a xB the other day. Hot Boxed The Box, hehe. They are actually pretty nice inside, never been in one before. Seems like the ideal DD.

Thank god, I was gonna say those sportmax 501's look horrible on ANY car. I was gonna suggest those wheels you just put on :D good choice! flows much better with the car and grill.
