New to NAM -05 DS MCS - pic inside -

Well...

My story-

I've owned a 1998 Eclipse GSX that was highly modified (ran 12s in the 1/4) which I crashed...Subsequently I purchased a 95 gsx that I sold to purchase a 2002 WRX brand new. September 2006 I sold my WRX to my coworker and purchased a 2002 Land Rover Discovery for offroading and camping. My need for a daily driver presented itself quickly (I net about 11mpg in the Disco) so I began searching and test drove an 05 here locally (I fell in love), that night I hit the net to find one with the options I was interested in and purchased this.

Here's the Mini that I'm waiting on (It's being delivered from Albany)


I bought Dark Silver to match my 2002 disco



The Disco now has a 2" lift on it, roofrack, and arb front bumper....


Anyways...I've been trolling around NAM the past few weeks and figure it was time to sign up!


Nik

Not Keebler...A dealership called Bul Auto? Familiar with it? I hope the car's in good condition when it arrives....I hate buying sight unseen....but I did it previously with the Disco (took delivery from Schaumburg, IL) and everything worked out well.
