All that chrome matches your nose ring!!

And all that stuff that you don't know what it means is basically stating it's not original.

I do like the fact that he put the tach in place of the standard clock - that's pretty cool.

I've often thought that my nose ring would be the perfect accessory to a classic car.... :o

I actually don't care too much about original. I'd certainly replace the audio system, but I'm more about the styling than the big engines and authenticity.

Here are my requirements for a car (well appointments anyway):

Manual Transmission
A/C
Nice stereo

Past that almost anything is negotiable, but it seems like the only one of those you can find on most classics are the Manual transmissions.

I enjoy not having a stereo in my truck at the moment. And I can roll my windows down....honestly, with some of these older cars you might actually prefer the automatic.
