Fever is over - the \"Mistress\" is home...
At exactly 10:45pm my 99 GTS rumbled into her new spot for the first time (much to the annoyance of the neighbors.) I have to say the 200 mile trip home was probably one of the most enjoyable I have ever had on route 50 out of MD. I was a little shocked at how eager she was to follow the road grooves, but so far so good. My fiancee has offically dubbed her "The Mistress" for some odd reason, but that will be what she calls her for the rest of our days. I enjoyed the fact that this one munchkin (just about toddler, no idea how old) was totally smearing the pass window of his mom's truck as I cruised by. You could almost read his mind "Wook Mom a Wiper!"
Anyway becasue the car isn't technically registered yet I keep it 5+/- the limit. I figure I'll have all summer to play so keeping the license is paramount now.
I have a few questions though,
1-) On the 99s does the idle feel like its bout to choke out/stall when sitting at a light? She rumbles happily, but there is a vibration I cannot place and just wondering if its me.
2-) The interior door latch is not funtioning, how difficult is it to get to this to look at it?
3-) She's throwing a check engine light. I'm sure I've read about how to get the code, but can anyone remind me?
4-) Is it normal for the entire population of drivers to slow down 10/15mph when they are in front of you? Or does it just feel that way?
Well the fun begins tomorrow. I'll need to call the dmv and find out how to bypass their [******] tax rules (they say the amount I paid is invalid and that the car is worth $50k+ so I have to pay taxes on that amount... arrggghhh.) Anyone with suggestions on this one please post.
I cannot wait until the March VA/MD meeting...
