    sorry kid, but 18-19 years ago is a long time to keep up with pics from a polaroid or a 35mm camera. i probably still have some somewhere but i don't feel like looking for them. so i figured i'd share what i remember.

    i'll see if i can find them but i've moved 5 times since i had that car, so i think they're probably in storage at my parents house. i guess i'll have to go visit sometime soon.
