I chose this car because the way it looked stuck out to me. I was in the market for a new car entering college and told the dealership it had to be black in color. I walked out originally leasing the Cruze but quickly chose to buy it out. Five years later I am here today, title in hand, and can happily say it’s only had one owner.

The main goal when the build started was just to stick to looks. I quickly realized that the aftermarket support for performance for these cars were scarce and I geared my focus towards having the car looking just the way I wanted it. I have changed it up over the years to create the car you see today.

My future plans for the Cruze are possibly a color change, while also deciding
whether I should change the wheel setup or not. I would like to add a better sounding exhaust setup then what I currently have next.

If I could go back, I would definitely try to convince myself to save the money
for a quality suspension and a more aggressive set of wheels. I also think I should have worked harder to pay off the car faster.

Shoutout to Pennsylvania Cruzes, Houston Cruzes, Pittsburgh Cruze and Sonic Club, and Cruze Culture! Wouldn’t have the friends I do without sharing this passion of the Cruze.
