I was gonna give you crap about that not being hot, but then I noticed the time, and then what state you are in.

You win!

It don't look bad at all for almost 200k miles, and your copilot is cool too.

Its still acting up, the mpg on the trip was a little lower then I hoped but not horrible 24mpg being about 80% hwy and 20%I city. More and more I think the cough is torque converter related

Looks good! I too am jealous of the interior color! Take this is as an indirect complaint about heat, black seats are like a grill. lol Especially after sitting in full sun on a parking lot for 8 hours. WOO

I'm right with you one this one Will. It's what I wanted when I was searching but never found one. I've only seen the camel color twice and only know of 6 cars that had it. But now the charcoal has grown on me.



I didn't know your Bonnie had the camel interior though! Sweet! Make that 7 cars I know of with it, haha.

Re: Tallahassee photoshoot (COTM)

did a little more interior cleaning and took some pictures of my "coveted" color LOL

here's a few details of my mods. I installed a 2002+ console and switch plate, and installed a pair of rca plugs for an auxillary input in the stereo. The stereo is a pioneer DEH p580 which was one of the only red buton pioneer stereos until a few years ago.

the inside of the car is FAR from perfect but the few touches I have added set it apart from most 2000's :bwoohoo:
