About “The White Knight”
I bought this car in 2002 and have done quite a bit of restoration work on it, keeping it 99% stock all the way through.
Although it is not driven in the winter I drive it to work every day and keep it clean enough to show it.
Click on the specs, factory options and modifications tabs and check out the albums too. :-)

The tail pipes are not stainless steel. I get asked about them all the time. They are simply regular exhaust pipe. So why are they so shiny? When they were first installed I spent three hours per side with Mothers metal polish and a lot of rags.
That's right folks, they're just metal polished normal exhaust pipe! After initially getting that shine it's easy to keep it up. Once per year I take 15 minutes a side buffing them up. I wipe them off whenever I wash the car as well. It's been almost 5 years now and they still look like new.
There you have it, I just saved you $200+ by not having to buy stainless steel pipes.
