Hello TGC,
I've been lurking here for ~2 months, and if I ever want to see the light of the marketplace, I'd better stop lurking and start posting...
I'm the second owner of a 2002 ES with around 75K miles. I've had it for 4 years now, and it is a very dependable car. I came across these forums when I was looking to replace my bent steel wheels. As you can see in my sig, I'm now sporting some 2G Eclipse wheels. They're definitely a step up from the 15" steelies and the thrashed plastic covers.
So as to my title for this thread, I said "Old nOOb" cuz I'm old enough to be the father of many of the members here, but still a nOOb..., so go easy on the old man, OK? I doubt I'll ever mod out my G the way many of you have, as I've got a family to support, so car mods are pretty low on the list... I'll poke around here to learn more about my G and how to keep her running clean, though. I may add a few mods here and there, maybe my shocks/struts will fail soon and I could drop things a bit? That could be fun. I've hit many of the you-pick yards around here, and have managed to piece together all but the driver's door fake wood, so I guess I'm close to an interior mod. If I keep her alive for another 3 years, then she might be a "first car" for my kids (they turn 16 in Feb 2012)! YIKES!!!
Oh... I'm in the DC suburbs...
