Good luck with the beautiful car. I had a Harley electroglide, had it painted blue, in honor of the movie of the same name with the (now) infamous. Robert Blake who was aquitted on murder charges. I bought it new, but didn't have it very long, joined the service, during the Nam, so I am giving away my age. Old enought to be your dad. I have a daughter who is 25. Your doing OK at 21. Your also very busy, car payments are tough, I see your a model, good for you. It is also nice to see more woman on the board, cars aren't just a guy thing. I hope you wash your car at least once a week and polish and wax at least 2 to 3 times a year and in between use a good detailing spray, change your own oil, you can pump it out of the dipstick, and perform other routine maintenance? Also nice to see a young person on the board, us geriatric's need some youth on board. Young minds new ideas!

Thank you for the warm welcomes! I have 2 Golden Retrievers. Benny and Sage. I also have a Ball Python named Amber and a Beta Fish named Izzy in my office. I love my dogs though...more personable than a snake or fish. Haha.
C280, ah, don't worry about the age thing. Who cares?! (By the way, I am 22, not 21.) I have actually washed my car 3 times since I have had it. (I get her back today! She was in the shop for broken catalytic converters...headlight condensation...broken cigarrette lighter...for my cell phone. and a few other minor things.) But our pollen rate up here is HIGH, so it gets covered after sitting outside of my work for 8 hours. It also just got a coat of wax last week. But, this weekend I am going to take a buffer to it. I have some sun swirls in the hood and on the trunk. I already did claybar, didn't have the time to buff her. I am 100% capable of changing my own oil, my own spark plugs and wires, rotating tires, (speaking of, I need to see if my tires are directional...I know the tires in the rear are wider so they cannot be rotated...but I am still capable of doing it!) I can change batteries, fuses, I helped weld on a new exhaust for a junker Grand Am I am trying to sell. Umm...what else can I do...I am certifed to mount and balance tires. I can check my air pressure...obviously. I can usually diagnose problems with vehicles too. I could feel my timing belt slipping on my old car. Waited a little too long to replace it, blew my water pump. When the belt snapped, it whacked my crank shaft and dented it. I had to replace that too. So...yeah, I think I have given you plenty of examples of my mechanical inclinations! I hope anyway...:)
