and I pick it up saturday.
My first car was a new off the lot 03 SXT fully loaded. 6 miles on the ODO. Crashed it with 5k on it. I was young, stupid, and didnt appreciate the car. I made a web site for it when I was 15

lol.
Then I got a 99 Deep Amethyst first gen MTX coupe for a while. I completely rubuilt it, then turbo'd it with srt-4 components. I added a 7/8" rear sway bar... and lord only knows I had over 9k in parts on it. All bought by me from my work.
... but now im growing up a little bit. I wanted a little more room, something not so loud (my car was catless downpipe - to resonator - to your ears. thats it) and something just more nice to ride in. I don't have the money the first gen was sucking up constantly. I'm in college, and I have a business now and showing up with the kind of noises my car was making wasn't cool.
I could care less about the miles on this car I'm getting. If it needs rebuilt I'll do it. They guy worked with me and I think I got a good deal. My dad's 99 R/T has 430,000 miles on the everything but the tie rods and axles. Runs like a champ. I know first gens from top to bottom and I'm sure I'll learn the quirks with this car.
... so I appreciate the help I'm sure I'll get from this site, and try to contribute what I can.
