Dark city street, small misting on the road, jet black GTP, and a deep cigarette smoking voice said, "Wider is better." Then I pointed at the screen (age 14 at the time) and said, "Yes...yes it is! And I want that freaking car."

The picture in the listing doesn't really do them justice, 4 of them are 2-page ads, it took me quite a while to hunt down all the magazines those ads appeared in, just buying something like this would have been easier, but I guess not near as much fun as paging through all the old car mags I could find.

BTW, that is a fantastic sig picture
