I found a 2004 garage queen (learned that term on here) about 2 years ago. The car had just 217 miles on her and now has just under 10,000. I will have the car paid off within a couple months and will have some money to put into the car. The V is my primary car but I work from home so she will never see a ton of miles. I love driving the car and love the way it looks and plan on keeping her a long time.
I am a little embarrassed to write this but my goal is not for more power. For me, it goes fast enough. I can feel you out there looking down and shaking your head. I am a little overwhelmed by all the info on the site and also some of the info seems dated as improvements come along. I want suggestions to make the car drive better and last longer. I am going to feel like a red headed step child by writing this but I won't be doing the work myself.
Here is what has been done since I owned the car (September 2010):
oil changes, CAGS, tint, battery, coolant flush, and tires
It would be great if you could be specific with your suggestions i.e. what type of short shifter to get. A rough estimate on cost would be nice (including labor).
I got no complaints other than some occasional clunks going from 1st to 2nd and downshifting but I usually get it right. I never launch. My fun is the winding country roads that are all around my town.
Thanks for your time and help. I enjoy the information and comedy you all supply on this site.
