The trunk is a huge PITA

I keep a bottle of Meguiars Detail in a bottle in my trunk, and a bunch of rags...
I never get smudges on the trunk lid, just grab hold of the medallion and use it to close the trunk.

Congrats to you Manny! Driving a V6 stick puts you in a special niche here and I think we all agree that we love our 'sleeper'. Take good care of her!

Not my top priority, but tinted windows would look really nice on a black car. Very stealthy.

Thanks everyone.

Were thinking of getting rid of it and getting a basic Ranger. Ever since we didnt have our old one we realized how much we need it.

buttery smooth now (at 1st it was roughish, esp 5th&rev). I love the whole driving experience on this car, it's not even a chore with this car. Even in heavy traffic. It's light and touchy in a good way.
:drive:

Not too fast yet, maybe 90 tops on the 60 freeway. I've tried WOT on 1st&2nd, to seat/seal the rings better and I came to the conclusion this is plenty sprinty for me.
As for a name I haven not chosen one yet, it's kinda hard actually because I'm kinda picky.

Dont worry, she will tell you her name...

I hear ya on the shifting... My 99 was kinda rough in traffic, this thing is a total dream to drive... Light clutch, short and high...

How in the world did you get it up to 90 on the 60 fwy?!?!?! That thing is a parking lot! LOL

Congrats, now bring it out and SHOW IT OFF!!
