I was parked on cherry street behind my theatre, in a permit spot. A witness who came up while I was talking to the police said, he heard screeching tires and looked back to see a car turning from main street on to cherry street. He heard a BAMMM and then more tires screeching as the car took off. The witness was a block away, so he didn't get a make or license number. Only said it was a small car, that looked tan or light brown. **** happens I guess. It's best the s.o.b. hit and ran. I probably would have killed em as pissed as I was.  Argue Donno

Sound System Upgrades
I've had a Alpine CDA-9886 CD player and JL subwoofer and amp, hooked up to the stock MACH460 system. It sounded good but I wanted more! Well I've removed all the MACH460 stuff and replaced it with ALPINE components. I used a MRP-F250 amp running the front and rear speakers. Those being a set of  SPR-13S 5-1/4" Components for the front and SPS-507 5x7" Coaxials for the rear. A MRP-M450 amp is powering a JL Audio 10W3v2-D2 subwoofer. This system sounds so much better that the MACH460 system!!! I need a new box for the subwoofer, something that blends with the trunk. That box is from my old JL Audio sub. Here are a few pics of my progress:

MagnaPack installed!!!
I finished installing the Magnaflow MagnaPack Cat-back system on the GreyGT yesterday! What a nice system, Looks great and sounds great!!! It was about time for the flowmaster to go anyway. Once I removed the old flowmasters and looked at the inside of them. I noticed all the baffles in the mufflers were all rusted out. They had been on the car for almost 4 years! Here's a couple of pics of the new system:

ExhaustI just ordered a Magnaflow Magnapack cat-back exhaust system for the GreyGT. Thanks to everybody who voted in my exhaust system poll on my gotstang site. This Magnaflow system will be replacing the flowmaster system I've had on the car for about 4 years.  I'll post some pics after I finish installing it.
