Default nOOb s2k owner from the great white north

So I saw this car for sale in the classifieds section of this site (thanks s2ki ), sounded pretty good so I arranged a flight down to SLC Utah. The car is a 2000 with ~87k miles when I bought it in late October. The seller was extremely accomodating in holding the car for a few days for me and working around my schedule/flight. Got a full inspection done at the dealer, took care of the paperwork, and then drove roughly 1000 miles home to BC.

A few shots of the drive home, this is somewhere in eastern Oregon:




after finally getting home


and some post-clay/polish/wax pics. I had to remove the tint so that it would pass the federal inspection:










I am loving the car so far, its in awesome shape for an 8 year old car. Just wish spring/summer would hurry up and roll around so I get get the top down with more regularity. It rains here alot but I am finding the car is not bad at all to drive in the wet, as long as you don't push it.

Car looks good, love that blk/red color combo. Many people on the site have given Goodyear Eagle F1's a thumbs up for good performance including in the wet, you may want to look into those when your current tires need to be replaced. Good luck.
