Just for fun, on a sheet of paper, write down the year and option package of your car and any modifications you have made to the car (i.e. floor mats, leather seats, subwoofer, hydraulics to make the car bounce, etc.) Add your name and post this on your car so that others can query you as they consider similar modifications.
