Classic Red (VR)

The "optional" ABS

After having wrecked my poor 05 Spectra5, I purchased this 2006 as a replacement. Needless to say it was not the easiest car to find for sale, let alone with a 5-speed manual and less than 100k miles. The windows were already tinted when I got it, but everything else was stock and every single one of the speakers was blown. I kept my 05 as a parts car so I could switch everything I had done to it onto the new car. I was lucky enough to find one that still had the front spoiler, but unlucky enough for it to fall off twice and get run over by a truck the second time. This car has been so reliable that to this day, the most expensive thing I've had to do to it, besides upgrades, was order a new "body kit" from the dealer.
