The car and the coat are alright. The slacks--well that's another story. Why don't you try a set of Levi 517s and a pair of packer boots?

Good to see the SDL back on the road.
Does it run nice and quite with the flex pipe and the exhaust gasket changed.
You look marvelous

Night went well. guage, yes it is quieter. It used to have some sort of "tap, tap" noise when going next to a wall that was from the exhaust, it is now gone. Sorry, I know it's not a suit per say, but you got what I meant. I'll have to get a picture of me in the brown plaid slacks! My mother won't even let me wear those out of the house. I wore the setup in the pic also to Baccalaureate (sp?) then to the honors ceremony afterwards. A teacher friend who was handing out the certificates told me "David, best dressed obviously". I love this outfit. My girlfriend thought it was hilarious (she's Italian, BHD)

Thanks
David

You know, I think quite a few people will forget about the pic of the funky pants and ask for pics of your gf now.

OMG, I can see it now. Our wives or girlfriends (NOT at the some time guys!) will go nuts with us all running out to our car and asking them to take our pictures. Of course we will all be wearing our Herb Tarlick (WKRP in Cincinnati) outfits. I'm gonna have to see what old outfit I have hiding in the closet. This could actually be fun if we get a bunch of pictures.
BTW David, my understanding is that you actually can buy the correct color bumper paint in spray cans from the dealer if he is willing to go to the trouble of getting it.
