like a rice boy :-). I got it stuffed behind the lower grille, attached to the A/C refill hoses with wire tires. Now, you can barely see the plate, and the damn mounting bracket isn't scratching the hell out of my painted bumpers. The slits in the lower grill emake it seem like the letters are different then what they really are at times. Much clear look to the car too. I dont think radiator performance is affected, and there is no ATF section :-) Now lets just see if the cops say anything.

Nope, sorry that's a Maryland "save the (chesapeake) bay" plate. I actually do think it looks pretty good on the car in the front, its just that if the damn nissan bracket didnt scratch the hell out of my paint.

Yep, its Sage Mist Green. Just imagine the car with the license tag stuffed under the bumper, and up in the lower grille. You can barely read it :-) I'll try to get some pics... Who knows.. I might put the plate back.. its colorful and matches the car. And, I might get sick of the 1/2 visible tag thats in the radiator. But I jsut cant stand to see the front bumper being so scuffed like that from the plate mount.

Eric...
Where did you get the windshield visor you have? It looks nice. I want to get one on my '97 SE (if I ever get it) but I don't know how it would look with a black 97 with a black visor. I don't know, I was just wondering where you got it. Thanks!!

Yes indeed I did, lived on the 5th floor. I noticed 2 maximas in the parking lot. Back then at the time, I had my POS 90 Camry.

Neither of those were mine, but did you also play on Takashi for Sportsfest? I think I know who you are by face. You don't me, but I know Mike Willams really well. I live in Mahoney...this year and last. How come you transfered?

Yeah I was on Takashi alright. I was the dude who made a nut outta myself during the mystery event. I transfered cause my parents didnt like the fact I had a pretty low GPA after the 2nd semester there. I spent too much time on south beach, the grove and pat obriens.... hehe.. and also i think i figured out engineering really wasnt for me. It was alot of math and computer logic, the more advanced stuff i'd just stare at. But now I'm attending local community college. Saved the parents $30K a year, so I managed to get a vehicle instead.

Re: Re: Re: Re: ATTN: ERICDWONG

This story sounds familiar. I was at UM for a year and a half. August 96 to January 98. But I had to live in ghetto Stanford.

And I had no car back then either. Man, I miss going to South Beach.

I was in the marine science program. Double major: biology and marine science. Damn, that biology part just killed me.
