That's a pretty nice car. I almost got the same thing when I was looking for a car.

The hatchbacks are kind of hard to get arent they? It seems like most people hang on to those little boogers.

Thanks, guys. Yep, the color is right on time. Probably spend a little money on it. Thinking about going with 17" wheels and tires, a Mach 1 chin spoiler, tint, rear spoiler on the hatch and a good wax job. Don't want to put a lot into it. By the way, dog hair is removed with the use of latex gloves on cloth seats. - Og

Wanted one for awhile, just didn't put forth the effort until lately. CarMax has a mess of 'em, just not what I wanted to pay. Found this one on craigslist. - Og

I'm going with some wheels, but probably stay 16" since I folded and bought new tires.


Looking at these Liquid Metal Static, silver finish in a 16x7. - Og

I like the SVT wheels, but they're hard to come by. I found a set of 16's, but they were used and not in too good of shape. The Static wheels are not too expensive and that's right up my alley. - Og
