I can't afford Gullwing or DeLoreans or any other magazines. I'm a 
suscriber to four already and keep getting my name signed up for 
another two years with out me knowing about it until my birthday. 
Happy birthday, here's the bill.
I've seen your stipes on ebay for.. a long time. Always thought it 
was a company who sold them. Still love your car. The polished rims 
are cool!
