As a new member of this forum, I would like to share some impressions of both my car, and this site, if I may.

I spent a few hours reading over the posts, and I found out quite a bit about this car that I never would have been able to read anywhere else. For that, I thank all the members of this forum.

Fortunately, I did not have the "squeaky rear end" problem. I guess my local dealer got the TSB on that one. I thought the radio display issue was in my head. I am glad it will be taken care of, and I am waiting for the TSB on that one, before I ask for it to be fixed.

I bought this car for it's looks and handling, not to race. To me the performance it quite good, and I can not see myself spending the money to have the engine upgraded. Before I bought my car, I tested the 350Z (my wife hated it) and the RX8 (I hit my head getting in and out). When we pulled in to the Chrysler dealership, we both said "that is the one", even before we got into it!

I do like the lighted sill plates. The might make a cool birthday present...

I was stopped at a red light recently, and a guy in a Prosche pulled up beside me. He put down his window and said: "I like your car betten than this one!" That is a compliment I will not forget.

It appears that the majority of the owners will not be driving their cars in the winter, but that is not an option for me. If there is one disappointment in the car for me, it is the lack of winter tire availability. The Continentals are really not snow tires. Their web site lists them for wet surfaces. The Continental rep said I should not think they should be considered as winter tires. That may have been a sales pitch, or a liability safety net. If anyone with those tires has any experience with them, I would like to know how they have handled.

Finally, I would like to thank the system administrator of this forum. It is quite a bit of work to set up and run one of these sites, and I think he should be commended for his great job!

I look forward to reading and posting.

I promise they will not all be this long!
