Sounds good to me. I am going to show 100%, this will give me a few minutes to clean my wheels back up and get whatever bugs I collect on the trip up.

Yeah, as soon as I pulled into the Big Y lot I did a complete quick detail. It's a good place for it. It's also a ton of fun to see all the other crews roll in together. You feel like an extra in Fast and the Furious, LOL

Work won't give this day off to me because "too many people requested the day off." I think it is complete BS

That huge damage on your fender is really going to hurt you Shawn. Your class would be Import AWD, which puts you up against Subies and EVOs. It's a bitch. Then again no worse than me vs Civics/RSX/Integras in Import FWD...

tell you the truth, not really man...because this game is all about customization and just because its a "different car" doesnt really earn extra credit (unless its like a lambo or something to that status)

here's the funny thing, most people can't afford Lambo's, RL's are a bit cheaper and you still can't get people to buy one!

and it's still a reliable car, unlike the Lambo.

that sounds like the Maxima price tag is approaching what I paid for the RL...
