I gave mine a thorough wash last night, and now it looks so much nicer.

Gave it a little exercise... hit 120 on one of those crazy 2 lane roads out here in the middle of nowhere where the road stretches out in front of you seemingly forever, enabling you to see everything in front of you for a mile or two. Car was dead solid and stable, no drama. What a joy to drive this car!

My first maintenance on the '01 S. Changed the oil and filter, also put in a fresh air filter and cabin pollen air filter. Then put in a fresh set of front brake pads.

Got my Bose subwoofer bassbox connected. This required constructing custom connectors and about 4 hours in the hot sun.

Never heard of the Zeintop before. Googled images on it, very slick!

New owner here and want to say thanks for all the info you guys have provided. Took a road trip on the Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park. Had a great time driving and enjoying the views.

Gave her a new place to park.


She must like it since there was a noticeable gain in HP on my way to work this morning.

That's a pretty rough looking neighborhood there CH. Perhaps, you should think about forming a neighborhood watch group.

Yes, I like it very much. I'm not normally a person willing to deal with the hassle of a soft top, but didn't want to pay Cayman prices this time around. I really like that top. The stock hard top is not very good and the Cayman looking one looks weird, as well. I really like this one. Too bad they went out of business@!!!
