New Ride

Well I traded in the Sundance Gold CL-S with Nav for an Aegean Blue 6-Speed non-Nav. After much debate I decided not to get the Nav. After nearly 2-1/2 years I used it six times only, this didn't justify the additional $2k+ (I'm thinking of it as $2k set aside for a blower).

Although I am taking it lightly right now the car is still a ball to drive. I figure I'll have enough miles on it in one to two week that I'll throw all the parts back on it.

Sorry for the crappy pics, the lens was dirty (from the header de-install the other night) and again, it is a Digital Video camera.

Nice upgrade I think this is the first time ive heard someone switch from navi to non navi. I didn't get it cause i would never use it either.

Congrats Scalbert! BTW I love the front of your house. Especially the front door with the palladium above it.

I beg to differ, try going to queens and finding 72nd ave and 72nd st.. Every street number has an ave, street, place, road and blvd. I turned into a pussy because of navi, but I never get lost. thank you navigation ( sounds like an infomercial, huh)

Thank you, it is fairly a traditional look but I like it. Particularly after having laid brick during summers way back in High School!!

I could see it being a greater benefit in the NE where the streets are denser. But down here everfything is a bit easier to get to and less congested. Well unless you are in ATL on the connector or the top end between 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM. But then regardless of the side streets, if you are stuck in traffic, nothing will help.

Looks GREAT man.
Excellent color selection.

What are your long term modification plans besides putting the stuff back on from the 2001 ???

Nothing for sure except for a Eaton blower (SC for those sick-o's, ) regardless of Comptechs plans. I have already looked into what it would take to make your own, but this is still well into the two grand range.
