New Owner 2011 GT, Bay Area!

Hey everyone! Looong time lurker and finally got around to putting my name in here. The forums have been essentially my replacement car manual, instead of the one sitting in the glovebox.

Quick story to the 8: Test drove WRX - not bad, Gen. Coupe - didn't like the turbo feel, GLI - way too 'plasticky', Civic Si - not too bad either but way too common... came across the 8, took some turns and an on-ramp and... well here I am.

So far I've added the RB oil screens and swapped the tranny fluid with Motorcraft. Quite happy with those results.

Definitely glad to have picked this gem up and be part of this awesome community!




And yes, I've read all the intro threads. twice
