Hi all! I just picked up my silver 2003 P5 today and love it.

Great pics... silver P5's are awesome!

BTW -- you'll see this pop up from time to time, so just so you know, you have a 2003.5 model (no roof rack).

Welcome aboard, soon you'll be looking over your shoulder back at your car as you're trying to walk away from it... then after that, you'll be walking backwards away from your car just so you can keep looking at it.... and after that, you'll just be standing there, admiring your car for hours. .... Yes, we've all been there. )

Thank you all! I was curious about the roof rack and that answers it. I'd never use it anyway. I also have the optional tire subwoofer. For a stock system it's not bad. Not as crisp as I would like it too be though. It has the tweeters in the mirror sails, but lacks in midrange clarity. Maybe a swap of the 6x8's in the doors will do it. Hmmm....

Congrats! You'll enjoy it until your synchros decide to not work anymore...then you'll start to second guess your purchase. My second gear synchro is starting to go, or at least it doesn't want to engage second gear, and I'm really starting to wonder how long this car will last.

For the record: purchased in Sept. 03, currently has 9300 miles on it, and I have installed a K&N panel filter, Mobil 1 engine oil, and Redline transmission oil (75W90 NS). Goes into the dealer on Friday...I'm sure they won't be able to duplicate my problems.

Good to see I'm not the only one, but don't forget about the 1am run up to
the gas station for soda and smokes just so you can go for a drive.

I'm old and crusty ... so when I wake up at 1am, it's just to relieve the bladder.... but hey, on the other hand, I do fully wake up at 4am ..(laugh)

/threadjack ... okay, back to your normally scheduled Welcoming session
