When i took it for a test drive, the first thing i did was turn the valet key to FULL. lol... I stepped on it a couple times, and this thing is no ------- joke. it boogies. they were not joking around when they made it. ferrari killer is correct, especially in 1991.

its a beautiful car, with a couple small rock dings on the front end, and a small spot on the rear were the clear code is worn. the inside is very nice. my head is about 5mm away from the roof.

i hope nother ever goes wrong with it... haha
