I could just imagine that driveway... a Super Duty and right next to it a Metro! ( Well you probably wouldn't see it in the shadow of the truck, but you know...)
Keep it stock. I might add fog lights, but nothing else. I put an aftermarket headunit in it for $100 because I wanted hands free bluetooth.

It needed tires, so I got a set of Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus. They are LRR and have been great for the 4,500 miles I've had them. The car will coast for a really long way in neutral. Tonight in the heavy rain they did very well. I also had it aligned when I got the tires.

The car is really fun to drive. Once I calm down, I am going to start driving it like I drove the Metro and see what kind of numbers I can get from it.
