Well I'm going through old pictures and putting some up on my website I've had sitting awhile. I found the pictures I took before trading in my Grand Am. It's funny, I miss the car in a way, but already like the Marauder more. I had it for a long while and did a number of things to it, most of them a totally custom as a reflection of my lack of funds but desire to mod.

While the car suffered some design flaws from GM it was a solid car. For the price I paid it was about the best I could afford. It was either this or a Hyundai. :) The V6 had the torque a 4cyl couldn't match from the factory and was pretty lively up top for a pushrod engine.

I think I did well with it. The last work I did was a set of 17" rims, eibach springs and KYB struts. It handled quite well after that.

I think I did a good job doing some custom work but keeping it good looking and not getting gawdy or going overboard with bling.

Here's the pics, what do you think?

Dream Theater :rock:I got a black sticker DT on the MM...it's just under the 3rd brake light. No one can see it, infact, I forgot I had it!! Even knowing where it is it's hard to spot...I wanted it subtle, lol.

Dream Theater is probably my favorite band so I decided if any stickers go on my MM it'd be theirs. I'm just hoping it fades slightly so you can atleast SEE it!

:lol:

Dream Theater... :bows:

John Petrucci's guitars... :bows:

Not be left out Portnoy, LaBrie, Myung, and all 3 keyboardists over the years, Kevin Moore, Derek Sherinian, Jordan Rudess... all great musicians... :bows:

And Charile Dominici was the first DT singer, sang on the first album "When a dream and a day unite" before James LaBrie came onboard for Images and Words.

Oh wow I just threadcrapped my own thread!

Wow - everytime I ask anyone if they ever heard of Dream Theater or like them they say no. Dream Theater is my number 1 fav band. I love how technical they are, and how they execute their songs. And I love when they play on time but off beat - amazing how they keep it going.
