Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
My 04.5 AT sedan was initially a business minded purchase - needed to accommodate clients and make 200 mile commutes 2-3 times per week.
2 weeks after purchase, those needs changed and the life of the ÂGrey Ghost took a more spirited performance related transition.
The car is constantly evolving - it will never be *done*.
*Thank you to all in my friends list - just about all of them have helped me get the car to where it is!
