All I can say is eww. I dont like it at alll. To me it looks like a really confusing bettle mixed with a wannabe SC430 in the back. Sorry but its just too ugly for me.

negative on getting together... if you never see me then you can't say who i was.
i'll call you and say "ray's pizza" then you have 15 minutes to go the phone booth at the corner of the post office...... i'll give you instructions from there.
