Congrats... Cant wait till I get my 06 and then post the same thing in 09 lol. BTW how are the dealers around here in wpb? Did they give you a hard time when you went in for warranty work?

LOL, they are OK, as long as there is history with the problem they will all do it, but try being the first one with any of the problems that eventually cropped up.

Here are some pics of the painted parts

Thanks Vic, hard to believe huh, I have seen you go from high school to college

Thanks. Yes and no, I work from home but I drive it every chance I get almost 35K in those 3 years, I have a GrandAm I use for the dirty work like pool supplies run or airport parking

I know Ken, definetly going on in the next couple of months, and also maybe working on a built engine.

I know I can't wait, it will be a fun trip.

Wow...Congrats man. How long have you been F/I now? You've been on that block for awhile too, haven't you?

westpak

iTrader: (19)

Great, nice to see you and others still hanging on.

Thanks, specially coming from a Zdayz winner, right?

I have been FI since early Aug 2004 for almost 15k miles and almost 35K miles total on the car and engine.

he he...yep. Though that competition will be 100x more difficult next year because I'll be in the F/I class with the likes of you and Sharif and Dr. B. Lookin' forward to seeing you all again though.

Funny...I was just thinking about how it will be 3 years for me in October when I came across this thread

You are so right about being the first one at the dealer with a problem. Most of the time we knew about the problem before the dealer ever did (because of this forum)...and that in itself caused problems because they didn't believe us

The good old days
