OK, got some pictures of my car, too bad it's kinda dirty

Borrowed my boss' digital camera, so now I got some pictures, just the car is kinda dirty now, but it'll do until summer anyway, when I'm gonna have a professional give it a real shine.


Well here you can see the prime annoyance on european exports, they removed the parklights and put this turnsignal only light there instead.


Here's a side shot, you can see the dirt


Photo of the inside, sorry for the glare, the spring sun is harsh here, I've known greeks who come here and get burned in our sun


This is a small annoyance, the paddle-mirror, standard on all exports to europe, I would be interested in a swap BTW, power mirrors only.


Just a little peek at the studded tires, I guess you don't see many with those, these are smaller rims, 215/65/R15, this week or next week my summer tires are coming on again.


Another shot of the car, see those spots, you know what they are? Paw prints! Our damn cats get up on the car when it's warm and sit there!!! I'd like to catch them in the act...


And here's yours truly

It's a GTA, all GTA's came with those seats, 4th gen seats are based on those I think, or they are very similar at any rate, I think it's just the head rest thats different.

Dirt aside it looks pretty good. Even in the thirdgen rich United States some of us still don't have thirdgen looking as good as yours.

The car's had an easy life I think, two previous owners, one girl and then a guy born in 1939.

The hood has been replaced also, it's glassfiber now, is that standard BTW or are they made of metal from the factory?

And yeah the interior is in fine shape, hardly any wear.

Still, lots of things I want todo with it, mainly in things that lower fuel consumption without sacrificing power, stuff like new sparkplugs(maybe new wires and cap), K&N airfilter, etc.

Was looking at the air box as well for the intake, kinda restrictive, maybe one could do something to it to improve air flow, without going as far as making a real cold-air intake?

Well I have the GTA wheels back on now, snow is almost gone, let's hope the weather stays as lovely.
I also noticed the back tires where 255's, not 245's, hadn't really seen that before since I've had no opportunity to drive with the summer tires before now.
