This is what I drive , a mostly stock 1998 Dodge Avenger ES.  

 

I was diverting a lot of time and money to my 1966 200cid Mustang Coupe, but now I'm selling that.

'66 Mustang FOR SALE!!  $7990.  Anyone interested: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/1475589092.html

 

 

This is my 1966 Ford Mustang inline 6 cylinder (200 cid) Coupe.

Now I'll be saving up again for a 1998-2002 Trans Am or Formula.

Then I will pass the Venge off to someone else.

Avenger and my friend's WRX

 

          

 

I found out recently that the previous owner had the trunk panel (the one where the key hole is) repainted because there was an old dealer sticker on it that ripped the paint off when a body shop tried to remove it.

 

New Exhaust Tips, October 25, 2008:

I removed the stock tips and put these Pilot Tips in their place:

They look even cooler in person.
