I pre-ordered a Yellow M6 back in July of 2003. After going to a few dealerships in my area it was apparent that they either wanted to rape me or had no idea what they were talking about. I received a call from the last dealership I purchased a car from. I was 1st on the list of people that inquired about the new GTO back when it was announced. They had a black one there - but told me a yellow one was coming in the next day. They took pictures of it coming off the truck and called me, I was there an hour later with a flatbed and towed it from WI back to IL.

Mileage is 5450 and the oil was changed again today. Fixed an exhaust leak.

Took the car out today and noticed a little bit of oil on the garage floor. After further inspection it was the driverside valve cover. Sure enough after taking it off I noticed the bottom back area of the seal was folded over. Replaced that today, cleaned it up, and changed the oil.
Oh and if anyone is counting - 3.5 years - 5,000 miles - Oil Change # 7

Radius rod bushings installed (took minutes) as well as the upper strut mounts. Everything went smoothly. Going for an alignment sometime in the next few weeks.
Items still on the agenda:
-Install braided fuel line
-Flush/Bleed Clutch (remote bleeder)
-DRIVE IT!
I hit 5,000 miles this past weekend. I bought it in January 04 so I really do have to get it out more and enjoy it.
