It doesn't quite fit in back but I'm working on a rack to fit without welding or drilling into "The CAR".

My car reminds me of Jefferson Darcy in "Married With Children".

It's job is to look good - making others lust over it's strong lines and
smooth moves and wondering what's under the hood. Takes me where I
want to go on a daily basis at my command, and enjoys a good slap
on the accelerator to get things really going.

I guess I baby mine so far, but that's just inexperience talking...getting used to pushing her into the corners a bit more and of course I always like to practice getting up through the gears quickly given a straight run...let's put it this way: I got over 30mpg on my first tank of 94 octane and now I've got it down to 25 - I must be doing something right!

I have to admit I do like driving it !!! I have hit 240km/h in it and was amazed at the handling. I have driven down to Los Angeles and back (3,200 mile round trip) and all over western Canada. Although I don't drive it as much as I would like to ! Have ONLY racked up 18k kilometers in 3 years !!! But then again, I do have 4 other vehicles along with a company car (daily driver) . . . I baby it, but DRIVE it when I do drive it . . . . heh heh heh . . . all the oil changes have been done by me, the seat heater repair done by me - along with changes the door panels and seats to the cedar color ! . . .
