(5/1/2005) I am currently pimping around in a 90 Chevrolet Beretta. It was my wife's car, but we got a 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT for her and our three girls. I had the 2001 Grand Am on a "SmartBuy" (ironic that it turned out to be quite the opposite of smart). Issues with the computer system frustrated me to the point of wanting to give the car back with about a year remaining in my contract agreement. Rather than getting a repossession on our credit, we decided to pay out the contract. Excessive mileage and wear and tear took their toll and they slapped a $3000 bill on us. They did allow us to pay it out and we have been doing so at $150 - $200 per month. That should have us paid in full in December of 2005.

My next project is going to be a 2005 or 2006 Scion tC in flint mica. Mods will include just about whatever TRD has to offer for it. Still debating as to whether to get the standard transmission or the automatic. The TRD short shifter and leather shift knob look so sharp. Watch for my posting coming late 2005 or early 2006. Stay tuned! jcc

6/10 and 6/11/2005 Ended up getting the tC early. Check out the comparison below.

Think I should have stuck with the Beretta? I got tired of waiting for Xzibit to come pop my collar.
