    Well, I took the plunge. Me, Dave Welles, and Gary Evans had a fun day of chopping 4" out of my car. It was a blast. Check the pics...

    Yes Yes Yes Yes !!!

    Right on man !!

    Loved your car from the start.... I especially loved the photochops of it which you posted up a while back!!

    That's one of the neatest coupes around IMO.

    Congrats on a successful altitude adjustment!!

    Attitude comes with a change in altitude.
    Not stupid at all.

    While I did always think your ride was more unique and cool with the high roof, I have to say, it does look better chopped.

    If I had an A, I'd want it to look like that!
