Default New owner in Houston

Hello Everyone,
I finally got rid of the minivan and was able to buy the car I want.
2004 Suzuka Blue 94K Miles (a bit high) but the car feels in good shape.
will be looking to do all the maintenance tips pretty soon (just assuming it needs done).

Change all the fluids (motor, clutch, diff. and trans.). Enjoy your S and check in with the Houston forum and say hello.

As a fellow Suzuka blue Houston owner, I welcome you!! I just changed out all of my fluids with Amsoil on saturday and it feels great!!

I'll tell you this though. The S doesn't like driving around on most Houston roads.

Car looks just like mine (2005). Did you do the Modifry convertible top strap fix yet? It looks like the soft top is sitting up higher than it should. Its only 20 bucks.

Thanks Everyone..
I have to admit that I have been obsessing with this car even before I bought it,
and have now spent countless hours reading through the forums on brands of oils, etc.
lots of recommendations and personal preferences, a bit overwhelming at times, but most of it good reading.

just got some new tires and ordered filters ,oils, washers etc,
I already feel my pockets being drained
