I guess i'll throw in a little bit about myself... im a now 26 year old male, studied all things automotive since i was 14, I'm also a bit of an artist, prodcing "music", and doing graphic design (the old school kind, lol) in my free time as well. I've been up and down the east coast, meeting many people and doing many stupid things, yet, ultimately learning many lessons along the way, and in 2011 i moved back to nnsylvania in the area of washington.
One unfortunate day I got in a fender bender with my car I had at the time while out on a delivery, and it ended with me having a fine and a rather damaged vehicle so, i scrapped my 04 ford focus packed some bags, and headed for pittsburgh to stay with a friend. after getting familiar with the area, i got a part time job and began gettin situated. Now, to find a new buggy.... Well, i never expected to pick up a celi in my life.. until i started driving my gfs old celi... well, after driving it more regularly and getting a little more info i saw what potential the platform had.. and wouldn't ya know it? i stumbled across this lil guy in hopes of turning it into a functional daily...  the picture on craigslist that lured me in. (cue coir music)  hmm...  well... lets take a look................. so, after a test drive and a once over in poor light (it was getting late) i bought it. at the price i paid i figured "worth it"     well, lets see whats all wrong with it... clutch slave cylinder = shot (Fixed 4/24/13) clutch master cylinder = shot (Fixed 4/28/13) rear brake assembly = fixed. exhaust =  (Fixed 4/29/13)  interior = fixed. front transmission mount =fixed audio = works.

FYI, that limited edition above the badge is just a sticker. but yeah, don't know if you can peel it off nicely and reuse.

Yeaah, I actually noticed that today while I was putting the wheels on. Im Kinda relieved it wasn't painted, now I have no reason not to paint the entire car the same color...
