I have used this site and the old one since I bought my truck back in late 2012. There is so much useful information sometimes I find myself just reading posts to see if I can learn something about my car. I started posting here somewhat recently but just saw there was a introduction area so I thought I should join in officially.
Anyway, My name is Nick and I live in Southern California. My car is a 2004 LS. I bought it from the original owner for $4500 with 77k miles. I thought it was a steal at the time as it was (and still is) in fantastic shape. Although I did later find out that the engine wasn't supposed to rumble like it did, it had lost the oil from the engine mounts. No salt on the roads here like some of you guys have to deal with haha. Our mountains use a cinder without salt because we drink all the water that hits the ground eventtually.
Now I have about 135k miles and haven't had too many issues and the ones I have had you guys have helped me through whether or not you knew about it. I had done all the work myself until the transmission went out about a month ago. Obviously I'm not qualified for that but since everything else is in such great shape including the motor I had the trans rebuilt. So now I have what feels like a brand new car and I plan on driving it until the wheels fall off. All that to say hi and that you can expect to see me around a little more often.
