I was looking through my Photobucket at images of my FB, and I came across the pictures that I shot of her the day I brought her home. I figured that it'd be a cool thread to see how people's cars looked when they initially bought them.

THEN:







All monster-truck-ish with the fart cannon and no drivers side tail lens.

NOW:




Post up your pictures, then and now.

I was hoping that some people who have owned theirs a long time (or are the original owners) will put up some polaroids/35mm shots of their cars from back in the day.

I've been thinking about driving the car back to the spot where I took my "just bought it" head-out-the-sunroof pics and recreating the scene.

Alas, been too lazy to do so as yet.
