Made the downpayment today I should be picking it up Thursday or Monday at the latest. It's a lot nicer than my Camaro, not really a sports car but a "fun" car

Automatic. It's a 2004 convertible, 4 seats, 2 doors, 2.7L V6. It's a pretty car. The convertible version only came with automatic transmission.

I guess a Saturn. Don't even know if they made a convertible, but 2.7 sounds Saturnish.

Dodge Interpid & Chrysler Sebring used the Mitsubishi 2.7L V6.

Not to rain on a new car to you Webby, but they had some engine failure issues with this one. Hope yours will be Great!

Thanks Yes you guessed it Mark. Unfortunately pick-up has been delayed until tomorrow. Considering what KSv10's gone through I can't complain about one day though

I've heard about them stalling, especially with the automatic transmission, and some oil sludge issues. This one seems to be in good condition though and had a clean carfax. I should only need it for a year at most before I can get something new. Well hey - as long as it doesn't get a flat tire within a week of purchase and sit around useless for 7 months, it'll be better than my Camaro! Now that I think about it I only put 100 miles on my Camaro, in 8 months of ownership!

He can always just say it is his girlfriend's car.








Should be reliable enough to may it to Indy more often.

Ugh, now all of a sudden they need my cellphone bill even though my parents pay for it . And my parents refuse to fax it and are going to mail it instead (they're pretty old-fashioned...) So now it'll be another few days. I don't know why they couldn't have told me they needed the bill a week ago

Are you planning on putting the pink fur head liner in this one?

Finally picked it up today. I'm not even excited any more. I also saw a red Maserati GranSport today... a week ago I would have gone nuts and taken pictures, today I didn't even take a cellphone picture even though I had my camera in the seat next to me. Weird.

I like it though. Dan, I cruised back home (an hour away) going 60 mph in a 70 zone

Does look good. I liked them when they came out. My mom had one for awhile and she enjoyed it. I think B & I had one as a rental once.

All right, you've got the car and your freedom, now don't go getting in to much trouble. Just keep in mind where you're at so you know who to call to bail you out!!!

Nice ride Andrew...like the color...I'm sure you won't miss the fuzzy liner

PS - Are there any dates scheduled in August for a "drive"??? We now have the vette back from the shop and she is ready to go!
