Well, this is my 1996 3400 swapped Chevy Corsica. For those that don't know the color is 'Cayenne Red'. I've had people ask me what color it is because in the shade it looks maroonish, but in direct sunlight it looks a total different color! ANd no, the paint's not aftermarket. I've decided not to take down any of the old pics of the car simply because they serve as memorie I guess. Things that arent on anymore: Seatcovers, Fart Can lol, pretty much these first couple of pics are what it looks like now.

Last few pics
