Default New Guy...Kinda

Hey guys,

I've been kinda lurking on these forums for a while. I used to have a 2000 GT convertible and didn't care for it that much so never really wanted to mod it at all. It had been broken into once and had the dash ripped out and someone broke my window once just for the hell of it. I recently bought a 2005 GT and it was a KILLER deal. I was just looking online at work 3 weeks ago and came across it and couldn't pass it up. I bought it right after I got off work. Of course I got absolutely RAPED on the trade in but the '05 had 20,042 miles on it and I bought it for 14,088. I was kinda suspicious so I took it to my uncle who works at a huge Mercedes dealership just to double check the car. So now I get to join the 2005-2008 section! It's a redfire GT manual with black leather interior. I still don't know why they sold the car so damn cheap but hey I'm not complaining! Oh and I got a ticket yesterday for the front windows being tinted even though I bought the damn thing that way. First mod will be an intake and tune. I always find it hard to make a final decision on mods like that because there are so many options. Anyhow, just wanted to make myself "official" in this section and will try to contribute as much as I can!

One thing...ask for opinions, but in the end it is always your car so YOU have to be happy with it. CONGRATS though you'll love it

It's funny the only pics I have are the ones I saved from cars.com before I bought the car. Also a couple crappy ones on my iphone. I put them in my photo album on here. To post a pic do I just use a image hosting place like photobucket? Sorry never done it before on here.
