My first Kizashi was an S model with the base stereo. The sound is clear and fed through plenty of speakers.

I was on my way to work this morning, crossing the Walt Whitman Bridge, when something caught my eye. Another Kizashi came up from behind, passed me and then moved into my lane. It was such a geek excitement moment since it happens so rarely. I stayed behind him for a couple miles until he took his ...

I love your wheel choice. That's one of the styles I was considering for my S but then I ended up trading it in for the GTS. Nice work!

It's amazing what some wax and elbow grease can accomplish! Looks like you also have a Saturn L-Series? I've had several Saturns myself, the last one being a 2007 Aura. Looks like we both have a knack for buying cars that enough people notice
