AaronM Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi, I got all my plates and everything for the STS. First trip, the gas station. Filled her up with some 93 octane. The previous owner only used 87. Next, I went to the tire place to get my new wheels put on. Then, I brought my family to Applebee's for my mom's birthday. WOW, I love this car! The new wheels look great. I was so amazed about how smooth it rides. I averaged 18 miles per gallon in the city hauling around my whole family. The power is also great! I didn't get on it really hard because I didn't want to wreck it, but it sure does scoot! I can't wait until tomorrow. I am going to get my Flowmaster installed . Here is a picture of her with the new wheels. Before and After. I really love this car; it's my baby! There is only 1 complaint: I don't like the speedometer setup. I guess I just have to get use to it. But all in all, this car ROCKS!!! I need to go and get some Zaino from Zainobros and shine this baby up; it's a keeper! I love my "Pimp Machine" (that is what my mom calls it, haha). BEFORE: (My brother's old car in the background (he wrecked it a few months ago) NEW: 98-03 STS chrome wheels. They look ALOT better! 18 Year Old Male Black 1992 STS 4.9L 90,XXX Miles Flowmaster 80 series muffler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Nice car dude. It looks good in dark. Is that polo green? Or black? Congratulations on getting everything on and in working order, and good luck with it in the future. Jason(2001 STS, White Diamond) "When you turn your car on...does it return the favor?"

Marika Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Nice car! I've got the same one. You'll really enjoy it. Watch out for the torque steer, it can come as quite a surprise. Take it easy and don't drive fast. Watch your cornering especially, that's the hardest thing to really learn in driving, after parking, that is. If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars. No more seat belts, ABS brakes, traction control, air bags or stability control. No more anything. You'll see how quickly people will slow down and once again learn to drive like "normal" humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill K Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Zaino is what I use also. Take a look at http://www.autopia.org/. There is a wealth of info on Zaino & prep. I use Menzerna to polish out the swirls and Zaino for the gloss. Have fun..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
