Today I traded in my 2002 true blue V6 coupe for a 2005 Legend Lime V6 coupe. I bought it straight off of the lot. Only options are the automatic transmission, exterior sport appearance package, and the upgraded wheels with the spinners. I wasn't entirely planing on buying a new car today. i was just going to go talk to the dealer and see what kind of deal they could make me with my trade in and so forth. I ended up walking out of there with a brand new car. So far, it hasn't sunk in. I have had a long day and had to get up early for an organic chemistry test this morning, so by the time I got to take my car home I was dead tired (and still am). I can tell so far that it is definately peppier than my 2002, even though I had a CAI and exhaust. The new transmision makes a world of difference. It is too dark out right now for me to take any pics, but I promise that tomorow I'll post some.

Congrats John on your new Pony. Hope you did well in balancing those chemistry equations. I remember organic chemistry in college, it was okay.

Hey Congratulations! Sometimes that's the best way to do it! Who says being compulsive is a bad thing?

That is cool. Hope you enjoy your new wheels!

I've taken quite a shine to that Legend Lime lately... shudder to think that I might have to change my signature again. Might go through the entire color spectrum before finally ordering!

Now drive! :drive:

Now there is no need to bring up OChem, having bad memories of my college days now.

Congrats, you must be a heck of a hard worker to be able to attend college full time and pay for a new car, kudos.

How about some pics?

Here are pics, as promised. I am not an expert photographer by any means, so hopefully these are good. She is a bit dirty because it rained this morning and it is too cold to wash her. She shows dirt less than my 2002, that's for sure. If you look close, you can see my first mod, a billet shorty antena that I took off of my 02.

That "someday" might be sooner than you think. I thought I would have to wait until this fall for mine.
