    Newbie!

    Salutations! I am picking up a Kiwi Green ES 5 spd next week. Been lurking for a day or 2. Already picked up some great tips! Have several question about accessories to search out in the threads!

    Congrats on the Mirage! And you're driving a Tercel? Dang, those are hard to find!

    Nice. I had a 1996 Tercel blackhawk. I sold it to my cousin a while back. He finally replaced it this fall. I think he had 265,000 miles on it. It really held up great.

    Well the Tercel bit it today. Oil in the antifreeze. The overflow is full of a grayish foamy ooze. Silver Lining is that I picked up the Mirage tonight. Just put it in the garage. Too dark for pictures this evening but will put it in the Forum Garage as time allows this weekend.

    I appreciate the welcome all.
