So I couldn't stand it any longer...
Despite the strange looks from the neighbors and the snow that is STILL left over from Friday, I managed to take one for the team and give the new ride a bath. The salt, road grime, and black snow was torture.... and as you can tell I was running out of daylight. I'm no photographer by any means, but here are some basic shots to cover all the bases and at least give an introduction to the new (to me) ride... even if this post IS a month late.
Nothing you guys haven't seen before; 2005 Alabaster, Cedar, 6-speed, 24,000 miles.
Totally bone-stock, but I will be changing that very soon. All I'm waiting on is better weather... we've seriously had 6-7 days of dry weather in the last five weeks.
Without further ado...

Then this little low-mileage, garage-kept, pampered STEAL of a deal came along that had all three things that the SRT could never offer me, all wrapped in one. That, and it was 1-owner, 30 minutes away from my house. Easiest deal I've ever made.
God is good.

What a beauty!
I know what you mean about getting strange looks when giving the car a bath in the cold. I'm guilty of washing my car when it was so cold the water froze before I could completely dry it. That was way back when...when I was a youngster.

Lookin good, I'm proud of you. I wash mine when its 33 degrees. Rubber gloves, stocking cap, 2 sweatshirts and a down vest. My neighbors already told my wife they think I'm crazy but I don't care. After almost 5 years of ownership it looks better than new! Keep up the good work!

Gary, FP, thanks for the props. Don't see any reason why I can't make the Dragon Run this spring.
Bmorgan, thanks for the compliment. I agree totally on the classy-factor of the white. That's why I'm going to make every effort to keep all of my mods on the "factory-esque" side... I don't want it to ever become a hack.
Steve, you're a hoot man. We'll have fun modding it this summer... looking forward to it.
Everyone else, thank you so much for your input. It's a great family to be a part of

Nope, it's the cleanest nick you'll ever see. The previous owner apparently kissed a trailer hitch ever-so-slightly... Wasn't a huge concern as it's one of the very few minor blems on the car.
Thanks buddy. I used tinypic.com for hosting... same as photobucket, just use the [IMG] tags. Works like a champ!
