SetMeFree

Hi guys, I'm Charley... I'm 19 and currently a student a Florida State... I LOVE JDM and have spent the last 6-7 months on clubrsx.com looking at parts and ideas for my "future" DC5.

But I ended up getting a Z instead!!! I found her at an all American Pontiac dealership in my home town! she was the only Japanese car in the lot. I had her for about 3 weeks now. Saw her on Monday... Test drove on Tuesday.... Took her home on Wednesday!!! Sadly it's not a stick... but I cant complain! they gave me alot for my 04 Accord with 137K miles on it...

Future plans are..
#1 - Black out the front lip... maybe carbon fiber. I'm open to options!
#2 - Blacked out headlights!!!
#3 - VOLKS/ADVANS Rims...
#4 - Lose Bose's subs when I get bored of it. And put in Two Alpine 10" Type R
#5 - SunLine Racing Carbon Fiber Lip Kits.... when I can afford it =[

I named her "SetMeFree" after the techno song... cause it has alot to do with myself and my ex.

Link for any of you that are into techno/trance
YouTube - Dj Trashy - Set Me Free (Unofficial Video)

The Day I test drove her (via iPhone)

And here are some few quick picks with my 12MP Nikon

Congrats! The DC5 is a sweet car (had a type S), but the Z is a better car

funny thing is everyone thinks this is a porsche or something when they talk to me about it.

Besides that... has any of you guys been 'challenged" to a race? Because I feel like everywhere I go, EVERYONE wants some of this Z. From the pricey Porsche,BMW M3, to even the ricer SRT.... everyone wants to know what I got... even tho it's auto and I only car about looks. Tallahassee has WAY too many pot holes and hills for me to even think about stick =\

The cross processed look is a bit bizarre with complimentary colors, but congrats on the car!

Kinda of... I'm exited to see what is going to happen. But I would feel much better about it if bobby left on a good note. Like if we would have gave him one last game in doak!!! to have him leave like that just leaves a impression on the student body!
