2nd Post! :)

Technically, my second post. Been here, lurking, for so long I forgot that I never actually *MADE* a 1st post. D'oh!

Located somewhere in the north Georgia mountains, I tour around with one of the LAST 2002 models off the line. MC, BRG/W, with no sunroof, sport package, runflats, BRG dash panels, green- & blue-lit dash, 2 sets of Rally lights, rear fogs, body-color grille and boot handle (a la an MCS; I dislike chrome!), HU replaced with an Empeg. odometer is now past 150k miles. I have the highest non-commercial mileage either local (Atlanta) dealer has, and second-highest overall. (Yeah, it's something I'm proud of!)

As far as issues go, I've been both lucky and unlucky. Lucky in the fact that most of the issues that other 2002 owners have had, I have not. My first windshield lasted until about 2 months ago, when an unfortunate time/space collision occurred between my windshield and road debris. (In other words, both tried to occupy the same space and time.) However, unfortunately, I'm on my second transmission and third clutch. After the first clutch was replaced, a dealer somehow ruined my transmission. Then, shortly after the new transmission, the clutch was gone again. (I don't drive *that* badly!!)

Other than that, I'm still motoring, and loving it.
Cheers!
Mike.

Hey, cool! What's your VIN? Mine's 38041, and was told that it was second to the last. (Dunno if that's when it STARTED to go thru the factory, or after it came out, or what..)

As a side note, anyone - can one use a custom avatar of their choice? I didn't see that option anywhere, tho I may have been looking in the wrong place..

Cheers!
Me.

They are on the way! Started to convert them to put up here on the site, and my editing program broke, I now can't open my camera raw files. So, shortly, shortly... I hope.

[Edit: Have a few pictures of the dash up - ones that I had at work here, at least!]
