Take those off and it's a nice little car.
    I don't know about two, but the top one adds character. Hatchbacks/mini vans/wagons normally suffer from that look where the back just falls off. A fiberglass spoiler adds something to break it up.

    Shame. Good thing this happened before you dropped the money on a car though.

    Nice haul blaze. IDK about your state, but in MD I think bumpers are required on the road even if it's licensed as a historic vehicle...so I would look into that first if I were you. BTW, definitely look into licensing it as a historic vehicle. If you meet the requirements (sometimes there are none, sometimes you are limited to driving it less than a certain number of miles a year), it will save you bank on insurance and may make getting it on the road a lot easier. I know at least in MD if you register a vehicle as historic you don't have to pass any safety or emissions inspections.

    Nice ride for a first car. In the Midwest just about ALL of those have been turned into race cars.

    Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: “We are the proud parents of a child who’s self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn’t need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car.”
