Nice looking set of wheels - welcome to the Forum. I can see from the picture, that your garage is like mine (full), so the ride sleeps in the driveway ....

Thank you. Yes. Rarely is there enough room in there to fit a car, and even if there was, mine isnt the first to go in there. So it sleeps in a full bed with the other 3 vehicles at my house

Nice little ride

That pic is real nice, somehow you managed to make the overall appearance longer than the car actually is. It really looks like the wheel base is longer and body, photo's can be deceving. Very nice looking wheels, are those after market? Good luck with it, I just bought a 2001 SL a few months back.

Where I live fancy wheels will get you stranded. I had a 1970 Camaro Z-28 thought it would be cool to get a pair not a set of real mag wheels. Well after coming out of the local mall I was surprised to find my wheels gone. So be a little conservative unless you live where everyone is real friendly, and your not going to any large cities.

I dont really go to large cities that much and where I live I dont really see that happening. Im not getting very fancy wheels, it is still a first car.

Sucks to live where you live.
