Hello everyone. I recently purchased a beautiful gray 2008 Grand Touring and absolutely love it so far! (Traded in a shitty 2000 Ford Focus.) I've always been a fan of the 8, but have only just recently acquired the means to obtain one. I've done quite a bit of reading on the vehicle, but still consider myself severely undereducated.

I just wanted to say hello to the community, and ask for some beginner advice on maintaining, and possibly modding, my fancy new ride.

Thanks in advance!

Congrats and welcome. Look here for the Texas8 statewide meet. Go to the gulf forum and look for the sarx lounge and mod day thread. Did ya get a 40th anniversary ? What part of town ya live at?

@cornholio, Thanks dude! I'll definitely check out that forum. Nah, didn't get the 40th anniversary, but I like the GT features. I live near the NW part of town, close to Bandera.

@Creto, Thanks!!

Btw, I've got a lot to learn about my car, (and cars in general), so please forgive me if I say something dumb. :D
