I think PG was referencing the top pump, convert top pump, being in the drivers side wheel well.

Re: Things I learned

TO be clear, in the three Roadsters I've owned:

TOP PUMP - in wheel well on driver's side.
LOCK PUMP - in wheel well on passenger side.
All cavities under mat in trunk on all cars had things like Jack, Tire Seal in them. The cavities on the right were always empty.

And I do think the wheel well is a safer place for it, Dave.

A cup holder that doubles as a gun rack all we need now is a magazine rack that doubles as the ammo holder.🙄

Re: Things I learned

and if you want to check if the oil level is OK while sitting at the drivers seat without having to open the hood and pulling the oil level rod:

Turn the key to the ON/RUN position.
After approximately 10 seconds, a clock and oil can icon will appear on the odometer.
Press the left-hand **** twice to display the oil level. If all goes well, it should read "o.k."
(i think this should be at the forum for all crossfires, not just the coupe)

Also .... noticed a small black cushion/Disc where the console lid rests against the wall behind the seats.
Learn something new all the time ......

Did you mount your Garmin somehow or do you just lay it in the passenger seat? I found a Bluetooth that plugs into the cigar lighter that's just a little larger than a cigar lighter. Has to USB ports and an answer call button on the side. It also serves as a place to hang my Covid mask! I just went looking for the coin hold and discovered the front folds down for access! Learn something everyday. LoL

Repeat procedure to go back to two presses to open passenger door and trunk (why??)

My FOB won't do that with the blinking red light. "Maybe" because my key FOB went thru my home washing machine!

Skid plates are hefty chunks of metal, the splash shield is plastic and funnily enough keeps splashes out of the engine bay and keeps heat in as well unfortunately.
