- Background
- I bought this car new in 1999. For about 10 years I drove it every day to work. When I moved from Miami, I gave the car to my parents who used it as the date night car. They probably put 1000 miles on it in 12 years. It was garage kept and remaining in great condition. With the need for another car, I arranged to have it reunited with me in Boston. While I am teaching my daughters to drive a manual and it is supposed to be their car, I am not sure I can let that happen. I finally have the time and money to play with it a bit, update it, drive it merrily down the street. The car is currently stock. She is known as Josephine.
In 2002, my car was stolen but put back together. For issues now, I don't know whether it was an original defect, an unknown/unfixed issue from the theft, created from the repair, or just something that wore out. For instance, one rear speaker was blown after the joyride. I learned the other day that dealer may have replaced one of them with a non-oem speaker, making them not match.
