There are so many in Central Florida. This one was on West Colonial Drive, a little before you hit Home Depot. There should be a few closer ones in your area..

They look feminine, if you ask me, but I'm stuck with those same rims until I get new tires.

That color really looks bad. You might have serious problems if you think that body kit looks good. People make their cars looks worse. Its plain sad. Make it look like a civic, good job

Beware of Rav4's, especially green ones. She's sporting one for now. She drives like a cow, and when she sits in it, the poor thing frowns and sinks down a bit. It's scary when she wants to take my car for a spin.

"Woman, my bushings are already giving out, I don't need you to finish them off."

It's really a pain having her around, all she does is mooch.

Haha.
