#74 Richard and Katheryn Hung
| Don Wroth had an extra shift knob for me since my leather was starting to peel. I liked the Mazdaspeed shift knob, but it costs too much and it had a 6-speed pattern on it. So...I rethreaded the knob with red quilting thread myself and painted the base with Duplicolor "radiant silver+clear coat". |

| I also painted my A/C vent rings three years ago with a chrome paint. It was the only way to get that semi-gloss metallic color to match the stereo. The chrome paint did not last very long as it started to chip, wrinkle and mar. I have tried all various forms of silver, but just couldn't get a perfect match, so I went ahead and got the Mazdaspeed rings, knowing that the paint will never fade. |

| This is to show the Grace Turbo High-Back Booster seat that my 4 year old boy sits safely in. This is a great Booster chair for children as it holds them snugly in the seat. It makes the ride much safer when driving around dangerous soccer-mom minivans. |

We purchased this car back in 1997 in Milwaukee, WI. I had to convince Kathy that she "needed" this car. She had to sell her 4-door, floaty smooth Camry for this 2-door top-down feel-the-road love-the-wind sporty cool LE. In addition, she did not even know how to drive a stick shift back then. In 2000, when baby Paul came, she got the responsible SUV and I inherited the LE. Since then, I have pampered this car and upgraded it with an FM2, Koyo radiator, Spal fans, FM sway, GC coil-over HD Bilsteins. Zoom-Zoom.

This was taken back in 1997 when we first bought the car in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The brief three months of summer are great for top-down driving. This was along the Great River Road. We drove between Iowa and Wisconsin along this road. |
| With a little faith, we had great weather at the recent 10 year anniversary. |  |

The lodge was great, but the weather was dismal that morning. The wet pavement did dry within an hour. |
| My slowly progressive obsessions have led me to this FM2
