Take
a close look at these images of the new car (click to enlarge) its probably the
only time it will ever look like this. Let me say this car has poke when it needs
it and is comfy and smooth to drive, still struggling with the clutch at this
point though. I like its responsiveness and yet it feels light without feeling
floaty.
The
new sound system, a
Sanyo FXD-780GD CD RECEIVER, the original standard equipment is an embarrasment!
Two front
mounted speakers attached to an AM/FM radio cassette player, and dats all
folks!
