Well at long last here is my pride and joy. It may not be as fancy as some, but it's my heart. This is the one posession that has made me happier than i could ever put into words.
Oh and umm...i don't know if it's a true 2002.5. Alot of people ask, and the truth is i don't know. I was told i had one by someone once and i kinda liked the idea. If you can verify it or debunk it, please let me know.
EDIT: My car was born May 24th, 2002. If that doesn't prove the 02.5 than i don't know what does.
