    So let us begin with Dave's Journey in Cars

    1st: 1995 Plymouth Neon 5sp with nothing
    2nd: 1987 Ford Thunderbird V6 (had a little modding)
    3rd: 1996 Saturn SL2
    4th: 2000 Nissan Maxima GLE (Autox'ing/Track Beast)
    5th: 1991 Chevy S10 4.3 5sp
    6th: 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Comp G (Current)
    7th: 2001 Saab 9-5 5sp Base to AERO and LOADED(Current)

    I have pictures of all my vehicles actually but in all honesty the first 3 really didn't have a whole lot to show. So lets start with the Maxima....

    I don't really have a beginning picture, but is was plain jane.

    Middle: (Loved it this way)


    End: (Sold AS-IS)



    Maxima had alot done, probably a longer mod list then the Prix has. Had some serious one of suspension mods and was definitely a fun car to drive. If I still had it: 3.5 swap with cams (using 00vi still), 5sp and Turbo'd. It had 160k miles on it still original motor and Auto Tranny.

    Now the 1991 S-10, times were rough so the Maxima got sold and I picked this up for cheap, turned out to be a fun little truck for having 350k miles on it and it helped me move to New York with 2000 lbs of **** in the bed.

    Start:


    Finish (Ignore the blue lights, they were suppose to be clear, jackass on ebay sent wrong ones so they were free):


    I fixed alot of broken things on the truck and did some small work to it, but didn't want to really spend any money on it. It moved me to New York and thats when I traded it in for what I bought it for and got the 2004 Grand Prix Comp G GTP. Start time is July 2009.

    Stock:








    So a few things happened, I started slow, wasn’t really planning to do anything to be honest…





    Pigsnots gone and First custom headlights






    Corvette Calipers came in



    Spoiler light overlay (Still on the car)

    always thought panda was one of the most beautiful GPs of teh site.
    loved it the mostest right before the rhode island trip. i like all of what you have done for the most part, but it was sexiest before the writing on the lip and the hood changes and the black spoiler/mirrors. but again, compliments to it all.
