    Cold....? Never heard of it down in FL. Coldest it's usually going to get down here is usually around the 50s. Actually, tommorow it'll be 35 degress, which is great...I suppose.

    By the way, my GP's exhaust tips are.....rusty and dirty, to say the least. Any way to polish them up? I was thinking about replacing them with chrome tips. But anyway to make the stock ones look better? I'm the 3rd or fourth owner of this car. Actually, it may be more....but whoever had it before didn't take much care of it, besides putting four brand new tires on days before blowing the engine

    Its cold here alright currently 1 degree BUT with the windchill were at -22...its was probably in the -40s around 3 and 4...LOTS of wind died down since then. I'd find some new tips for it...stock tips arent to aesthetically appealing anyway.
    EDIT: We have a windchill advisory and a blizzard weather adivsory lol
    I wonder how bad it gets where matt is

    WHAT? 40 below? Oh man, that sucks big time. I don't even know how I would cope. I'm now glad that I live in FL. That weather must kill a lot of potential drag racing, lol.

    People have polished up the stockers though a good set of aftermarket quad tips always look nice on GPs. I love having a Daytona, already have all of the good stuff.

    Oh yes, Tallahassee and Jacksonville are the only places I've been to in FL where I've actually needed heavy clothing to stay warm.

    I'm thinking about aftermarket tips. Are they usually expensive? I mean, I'll probably have this car for the next 9-12 months at least, maybe more if I can't save enough money.

    Those look nice. I'll consider buying them after the holidays, and after I blow money on presents, lol.

    My father mentioned Dodge Stealth, and I thought that might be a nice car to trade for. They're not worth that much, but the similarity to the 3000GT makes it a very good looking car.

    I don't know how that'll work on my '99, lol. I guess I have nothing to lose by trying...except sand paper.
