[QUOTE="TerminatoRS, post: 16287642, member: 195778"] OP...I completely understand the "dream car" aspect of your post. When I was 17, a sonic blue '03 coupe with a KB and chrome AFS 18's was the cat's pajamas in my world. Not a Lamborghini, not a Ferrari, a $35k Mustang. Of course I had to settle for a '96 GT, but hey, we all gotta start somewhere. Fast forward to today. Another 17 years older and I still like the car for a lot of the same reasons, but there's one more that I think could be the piece you're missing so far. The camaraderie among 03-04 owners is awesome. Around here, I almost never see another Terminator and I absolutely love that factor. When I see another one, I'm like a giddy child on Christmas morning. lol When some random guy at the gas station steps out from around his modern day minivan with stick figures and soccer balls stuck to the windows and says "Gorgeous Teminator, man", it's probably the best compliment I can imagine. Are 03/4's the baddest cars out there by today's standards? Absolutely not. But that's not the point. They've got an important place in automotive history, though, and that's more that can be said for the vast majority of cars out there. So while you may not have been the one to build her up to where she is now, you should still feel a sense of pride that you own something that's, in a way, [i]special[/i] and symbolic. After all, they don't write books about just any car. [/QUOTE]
