About “My Bitch”

I bought my coupe in February of 2004. She was basically stock when I got her except for a few items like the CAI and the 3.73 gears. Which was the whole reason I wanted THIS coupe... she hadn't been fooled with. I had to drive across the state to get her! She was a five speed with all power options (steering, windows, seats, mirrors, door locks) cruise control, and cold A/C!

About “The General”
