Original Pics from Purchase

I had been looking for the perfect car for several months – even going as far as creating a spreadsheet to keep track of all the cars that could be modded, got good gas mileage, could fit my wife and 2 kids, and look BAD ASS. My search ended when I found my sweet new girlfriend, Dartlene! (or as my children refer to her as Orangina [long i sound]) I bought her with 52K miles, and she already had some mods done!

These are the original listing pics:

This is how she started

Close to stock, before I owned her:  (I found her after I purchased her at the Kia dealership in Berwyn, IL on a now ancient Dart forum.  She was called “OrangeCrush13”)

Next, the previous owner added the paint-matched spoiler, (from ebay.com) stripes, and tinted the windows.
