New owner (blue 2000 S)
It's official! So excited. I've learned so much from this board during the purchasing phase. Will certainly make much use during the owning phase. Thanks everyone.

It's not official until you post a PICTURE. It's a forum rule (unofficially).

On a forum I have been a member on since 2004, whenever a member posts a "I got a new car" thread, they require a piece of paper with the forum-members nickname written on it -with the assumed car in the background. Works well.

Your calibers look nice. What paint did you use? I've been thinking of using the POR15 with a top coat of their red engine enamel.

Yeah I noticed that as well. I wasn't sure if it was a mod or not. The code sheet said it came with litronics but suppose those are two different things. Still learning.
It also has a modified exhaust so someone down the line must have been into the culture of it. Probably the guy who made the note on the maintenance book that he kept all receipts.
