2 thumbs up on the vehicles!!!

That is pretty damn reasonable. Thought it was quite a bit more than that.

what is with the stacked license plate? To me it looks messy and the person could not bother to remove the Euro plate or was too lazy and just applied the current one on top of it

I say ditch the fake euro one and be proud that you actually can wear a California one that the rest of us envy.

Though I must say the coolest license plates anywhere in the world has to come from the Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Canada. In case none of you south of the 49th ever seen one here is a link http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/world/CN_NWTX.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle...tes_of_Nunavut which is a very rare sighting

to each his own. i personally hate the US plate holder and FIY on the Euro plate insert on the trunk, you cannot put a US plate on there by any other means.

first few I grabbed it from flickr using my phone's camera+ app to edit and then uploaded it back up. I really should get Adobe LightRoom....







and the non-edited....there's also a matte white M3 in there somewhere...











cleaning the car is very easy. all I need to do is spray the car down with water to get the dirt off and then wash it with baby shampoo/mild soap.

please do not quote the pics when you reply btw. makes it easier for everyone to read.

wow... your car looks better in white color, specially for the carlson body kit...

awesome....
