Sorry that I'm not an MP3 user, I'm a lonely P5
I have 5,000 miles on the car so far, with one oil change under my belt (Mobil 1 synth). The car seems to be a great handling car (even better when the racing beat springs arrive). But the power isn't the best. Hopefully with the upkeep of the car I will have it well over 100,000 miles.
About Chevy, I owned a Z26, and would never put someone with the problems I had. Trans at 70,000, heater core at 75,000, ac at 80,000, ABS wires burned out at 50,000, 2 alternators, never had the rear defroster work from day one. I could go on and on about it but it gets rather stale quickly. I just want to remember the first day I drove the P5 and the smile I had on my face.
Paul, Yardley, PA - Hmmm, do you have a Yellow MP3? If so I might have met you at a hooter's show already.
