Once again man, your pictures astound me! I'm sorry to hear about the run in with the undercover cop. I hope everyone's new year and Christmas was good. I had a high of 78 on Christmas Day down here

The upside though is a got a new toy for my truck

She looks angry now and I like it. Fierce looking. I'll post a picture later today or maybe tomorrow of what she looks like in the dark.

Thanks AE! I have no excuse why I haven't washed my Expy in months

I think the coldest it has gotten down here during the day was about mid 40's once. I just got a gift card for Christmas so sometime this week I'll take her down to get the works done.

well i ran her through the carwash...then at lunch time at work i pulled it in and wahed it by hand real well. then today my boss gave me a set of exhaust tips off his car thats being restored in our paint shop. so i welded it up..its small but hey it was free!

cant notice that kninked bumper too bad eh?
