Default First "annoying" post.... (be nice)

Making the 1st post on a new board is always a hard thing to do. Who do I know? Nobody. What do I know? Not much. I sure hope you are a welcoming bunch!

For my 40th bday, my parents gave me the most wonderful hand-me-down ever:

2001 3ES with 41000 miles! It has never seen snow nor any speed about 60 and has always been in a warm garage.

Thanks mom and dad! My kids are SO excited to get rid of the 1996 Chevy Corsica with 250,000 miles!

We are a nice bunch - only when you don't post stupid/pointless stuff though. [well me anyways - otherwise... not so welcoming]

Congratulations on having excellent parents! When I was 16 my dad gave me a 20 year old Plymouth but that was my last free car.

There is a thin coat of dust on it, so a washing is in order. As you all know, silver is the fastest color (and best for hiding dirt).

Picts to come in a few days.

Just got off the phone with the 'rents. They have a HUGE 3 ring binder full of the maint history. Apparently, they call the dealer a few weeks before coming back from their 6-months in Phoenix, have the dealer perform a full CPO inspection along with standing instructions to "replace anything".

Control arms, shocks, pre/post O2 sensors, tie rods... the list goes on and on.

Uhh.

Welcome to CL. Hey, what's your location? It helps, sometimes, in diagnosing certain problems that may arise: rust, salt, snow, acid rain, meteor showers as in Kryptonite etc....
