Welcome to yet another of my pages. I hope I don't have to add any more for quite some time.

This car is our little fun-to-drive grocery-getter. My wife keeps telling me that we're going to ship this to Japan when we move back there. I guess it could happen.

Here's a stock photo of the car. My side skirts are a little different. I'll add pics as soon as we get the car back. The dealer is detailing the car today and will be adding tint soon. This car seems to have lots of potential, it is an SE1 after all (don't really know what the 1 means, just sounds cooler). Anyway, I'll keep y'all posted.

Check out my garage here.

I finally got the car back from the dealership. ITS AWESOME!! Even after test driving it, I'm impressed with the way it drives and handles. It only has one problem at the moment: the turning signal doesn't work all the time. The dealership said they'd take care of it though.

Things I got in the deal:
-free tint
-free dent repair (there was a semi-noticable one in the passenger rear quarter pannel)
-free rear bumper repair (the chick who had it before me put a couple holes in it - how???)
-free paint touch up
-lower the down from $1000 to $250 and keep the same monthly payment (makes the car cheaper)
-free ipod nano (had 'em throw it into the mix for kix and giggles)

I really don't think they made much on this car.

Here's what the car looks like now.

After driving this car down the canyon on Utah SR6 (the deadliest highway in the US), I love this car even more. The Bonnie had great handling, but the GA is absolutely amazing. It totally feels like its rides on rails (especially now with the Bonnie's wider wheels). I'd love to put a strut-tower bar just to see how much it would improve. Then it may have handling close to that on the Storm.
