Or should it be Old New Guy. I have a 2006 Cool Blue Convertible S since it was brand new but just decided to register here on NAM.

 

Glad to have ya. Have you not had issues with it since new?
Why now?

 

Haven't had any major issues. Although, the second time the motor mount started leaking I put one of those TSW engine mounts in. The first one was replaced under warranty.

I've had the thermostat replaced twice due to leaking.

I got rid of the run-flat tires.

I made my own Aux-in cable so I can use my iPod.

I installed a trailer hitch, the one that hides under the center plastic piece. I've towed two scooter a couple of times and I also have a tray that fits on it. It holds the cooler and camping stuff when we go camping.

 

Too cool.
Got to love those dang thermostats. I'm only on 1 at this time. Hopefully, that'll be it.

 

Welcome aboard frogman. I did the same as you. Stalked on the forum for a few years before I signed up. I've got an 05 S. I guess I've been on borrowed time with my mount. Had mine since new as well and mine just sprung a leak recently. I'll need to sort it out soon. What's your opinion on the TSW mount? I was going to replace mine with a stock one because I've heard the TSW gives much more harshness and vibrations.

 

Welcome....I also have a 2006 S and love it !!! I am also an old guy 68 going on 19...and can not wait for the Dragon...Have gone every year since 2006...

 

It does give you some vibrations but I would say it's more like a buzzing. I can feel it through the gas pedal and steering wheel. I can live with it.

 

Thanks for the feedback. Can you think of anymore positives vs negatives or advantages vs disadvantages between the two?

 

The main advantage is, it won't leak.
