SORRY,but on October 4th my car was plowed into. It wasn't my fault either. I was turning left into my drive way and i saw a car farther down the road so i thought i had time to caost into my drive way. Well, evidently these people wanted to get home fast because the next thing I saw after looking at my drive way was the left Headlight of a 2005 Chevy Impala. I was so pissed because I had already put about $2,000 into it. (pictures coming soon) SORRY GUYS, i'm still recovering for the loss. :(

It gets 42 mpg. On short roads, better on highways.

Replaced the old antenna with a much better and cooler one. It is not shown in these pictures. Much more will be done to improve the looks and performance on this car. I will add better pictures of it when I get done.
