2000 young & still going strong...

Happy Labor Day everyone...

This here baby is my 2,000th post on MBWorld and I just had to make a post about it. Just think, 2 months ago, I barely made
Fanatic status...

Lets see where I'd be in another 2 months....

Well, what kind of post would this be from me if I didn't include some kind of picture to commemerate this moment... so, here it is:

The first pic of my baby when I brought it home from Fletcher Jones, Newport Beach...

Thanks, I have to try to keep up with everyone on the forum

Hey did you ever get wheel locks ? I was just wondering if you did, what brand and size did you get and are they any good ?

Thanks.

haha... nah, its a photoshopped image... back then, I wanted to see how it would look lowered, and that was the only image I found on my laptop, and I was too lazy to turn on my desktop at 3am in the morning...

I'll see if I can find the original a little later...

Eleni- I haven't had the chance to actually go buy them yet, but I will probably get either McGard or Gorilla locks. Hopefully, sometime next month. just too much going on right now

if you snag some for your car before me, let me know what you chose and what you think about it...
