New from MD :)

Hey there! I'm a 20 yr old female from MD who has been a second gen. Neon fan for a long time. My first car ended up being a Sunfire, unfortunately, but I've now finalized a purchase on a 2001 Neon R/T; a nice bright red, well-maintained, with only 76k miles. I already have a lot of plans for it.. all of which will take time, and money, but in the end it will be totally worth it.

Anyways, the past week I've been packing myself with as much information on my car and Neons in general as I possibly can take in. So, I'm educating myself and will be trying to do as much of my mods as I can. My dad is a mechanic so he can at least help, or I can help and learn.

Thanks all

! I do have pictures of me, and the car.. but not together.. yet XD. It'll be my avatar when I get one! I DO have a picture of me on my dad's '76 Dodge Dart though.. close enough for now.

But FIRST.. the car <3 (yeah, I know the front bumper isn't an R/T bumper.. that's close to first on my list):

AND.. me on the dart. Can't see much of it but.. you know. His clear coat is chipped anyways

Welcome to the site and nice ride.

Assuming you're talking about the hot red car I'll be picking up shortly.. agreed :lol:

Thank you, Xployted77! I can't wait to make it my baby. I've always said I'd rather have a nice, maintained Neon than any new car out there.

Welcome to 2GN! Nice to know another Neon has someone to properly take care of it.

Thank you! Every spare cent from now on (actually, a week ago on :p) is going towards this car. I can't wait to make it mine

LOVE IT

always loved the 2001/02 neons. if you lived closer id offer to buy your old bumper

heyybaker · Post by **heyybaker** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 3:15 pm

Thanks NEON PARABOLA

! When I drove onto the lot and saw it, I fell in love, and prayed it was in good shape. Prayers answered

Ahh well, I'd ship it, but depending on where you live, that could be expensive.. but maybe not!

welcome! i have to say your neon will look very nice once the bumper is changed around. you should check out the chrysler show here in carlisle. wouldnt be much of a drive for you and you could meet all us awesome ppl

on a sidenote, try not to let the noobs and creepers scare you away, tell a moderator if you have issues with anybody. (helpful hint from someone whose been here long enough)

Believe me, I already took off work those days

I saw some pictures with a sea of Neons, and all but puked rainbows. I hope to have some work done on mine before then, and hopefully the correct bumper.

EDIT: Thanks for the advice! But I'm not easily bothered, my town is full of trolls of all types.. including a vast collection of Neon haters who can all kiss my R/T's fine bumper

EDIT AGAIN: Rear bumper, that is..

Welcome to the forum

R/T bumper covers are expensive ... that's probably why it was replaced by the regular Neon bumper cover when the previous owner had an accident

heyybaker · Post by **heyybaker** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 7:29 pm

theColonel.. if it was an accident, I hope it wasn't a bad one. The CarFax didn't list any, but they probably can't catch anything. Maybe they just beat the bumper up with reckless driving/parking, or hopefully, with no damage to anything under the hood. From the looks of it, the only thing that's been replaced under there (or visibly) was the starter.

I apologize ... I didn't want to detract from your car ... it doesn't take much to ruin a bumper cover, with no major damage ...
unfortunately my family has lots of experience with replacing them

theColonel, you didn't detract from it :). I have faith in this car, accident or not! I'm going to love it, it's going to love me back, and we're going to work together. Or maybe not, and I'll pull my hair out.. but I'll still love it :lol: Sorry to hear you've had to replace a lot of them, that doesn't sound cheap or fun.
