Both of the pics above are 20 minutes after I got my ride. No plates, no registration, no inspection sticker, no insurance! And to top it all off, it was a saturday morning when I bought it, So it was sitting in my driveway for two days. I couldn't stand it.

About your dual exhaust...were you able to keep the spare tire or did it have to be taken off? The exhaust looks great!
