Default New owner in northern California

Hi all .....
Just picked up a 2005 with about 45000 miles. White with tan interior. I'll take some photos tomorrow when it's overcast (less harsh shadows).
The original owner had a poor fitting bra on it apparently, because there's some roughness in the paint near the front margin of the hood, but I may be able to buff it out.
The driver's outboard cushion bolster is a bit lumpy. Is that something I can fix myself? The bolster on the squab is fine.
Overall very happy so far (less than an hour behind the wheel). It reminds me of my first 308 Ferrari ... not overpowered and with a nice balance of handling and braking. Could use a bit more exhaust sound, but I'm sure that's fixable.
It came with the owners manuals and the tonneau cover for the top. Although, the cover looks like it's more trouble than it's worth to install. Hard to reach some of the fasteners.

Congrats and Welcome! If your looking for a little more sound from your stock exhaust, just google "UK exhaust mod". A lot of S owners seem pretty happy with the results.

Hmmm, didn't realize I was getting a zoo along with the car. Dead mouse in the airbox. Hopefully the smell will clear in a day or two.
