      I'd leave it stock. The government really frowns on modding them, especially body kits.

      Congrats.

        Did yours come with an owners' manual? They forgot to give us one with ours. Congrats!

          watch those models. The two I have had a pretty significant coolant leak from the front and an oil/sludge leak from the bottom, early on. The headliner takes some time to grow in, and they get louder as they get older, too...

            nah didnt come with a manual, so i picked up a couple other books on it.

            it was quite a rush seeing it in her moving around like crazy before it settled into the classic thinking man pose.


            names so far:

            Boy
            Gabriel

            Girl
            Vivian Louise
            Kahlan (pronounced Kay-len) Louise

            still havent decided for sure on a middle name if its a boy yet.

            this is my first btw (ill be 23 in january so im young yet!) but ive been with her for about 6 years or so. Shes had the ring on her finger for a year now but we still havent actually tied the knot 8)

                ill bring those up lol, just for kicks

                i think she wants to use her grandpas first name (amos )

                considering her name is Rheannon, and mines Sebastian; im not sure we could do much more oddly for our offspring.
