This is actually the second time I have owned the car. I had bought it from my Dad once before, then sold it back to him, and have bought it back again. For some reason, here recently, I have really enjoyed driving the car. It is just so smooth going down the road, the gas mileage is great (but then again my last vehicle was a Ford F150 4x4 that got about 12 mpg), and I like being low to the ground again.

Biggest concern is starting to modify it and ruining the nice characteristics it has now. I would like to close the wheel gap down a little and get rid of some of the body roll by going to new springs, struts, and sway bars, but don't want a harsh or bouncy ride. Thinking H&R OEM Sport springs with Koni or Bilstein struts and ST or Neuspeed sway bars (if Neuspeed even makes them for this car). That with a set of 17" wheels should make me happy.

Anyway, thanks for the "welcomes" here. So far I have really liked what I have been reading in the forums.
