Jan.02 build date. This has got to be one of the first batch to arrive in this country, which brings up a question. Does anyone know how to determine from the vin # what # "S" to roll off the assembly line? I would really like to know. BTW, only 2 minor problems, both fixed. 17k trouble free miles. Motor On,

"Gnome" PS/Blk MCS build date 6/02. Took delivery in 7/02. I now have over 10,000 fun filled miles racked up. Only problem was the leaking coolant tank. I realized just today that I have the electrical outlet in the boot/hatch area. DUH!

I still haven't checked if I have the emergency hatch release cable under the rear seat. I'll save that surprise for later.

Stay cool

Keep Motorin'

Dan
