also new to photobucket so hope that works lol.

It's an 08 Gp with na 3.8 just picked it up from a dealership (i know, overpriced) but there's only 103k miles on it and its clean as f.
leather heated seats (tan) sat radio, sunroof, no traction control (figured that out accidentally lol), no leaks whatsoever. plus 4 year 48k miles full powertrain warranty. I love this car, my fiance has an 06 that I've done tons of work to (certified mechanic) I'm not sure where to start as far as visual goes on it, I want to get the windows tinted to 35% and at some point get my stock wheels powder coated gloss black. I've started a thread elsewhere as well about a rear window louver, i think that would look bad a** on this car if the windows and wheels were done first. in that order. I'm not going to do any top swapping or anything, I might get a CAI (hot air intake lol short ram) for it but as far as performance I'm already happy with it. I've been driving a dodge neon for the last year until the trans went out, shocker, after i did timing belt and water pump to it so the acceleration is plenty for me on this. Any input is greatly appreciated and encouraged. I've never loved a car as much as this one and that's saying something because i've owned some pretty cool cars and trucks. ill post pics of those sometime too.
 




Does it have ABS? Mine doesn't and I also found that out accidentally! Nice whip!

Nope no abs either lol. Oh well. I dont need it i guess. Winter might suck but screw it, racecar lol. I guess its a semi-loaded base lol. Leather heated seats and satellite radio but skipped out on TC and ABS lol
 
Thanks for the welcomes. Noob question: why does everyone boast about a 180* tstat? Is the stock one warmer or something?
 
Leave it alone cause you'll lose mpgs and since your not supercharged the NA motors need to run warme
Ok, so it's purpose is to open the cooling system sooner since people with superchargers have engines that run hotter due to forced induction (i.e. getting beat on)?

Not exactly, heat causes KR for the most part, theory is colder tstats reduce KR but unless your tuned for the colder stat is worthless because the car will just use more fuel. Also I dont belive it helps reduce KR. The thing is the M90 basically turns into an oven and post blower air temps are high which causes most KR aside from restrictive exhaust not letting the engine breath.
