Re: beaterX project thread

I am going to have to concur with that ^.

It may have looked rough when you got it...but after some TLC and a good waxing, it isn't really a beater anymore, lol.

It drives real nice too. Me likey!
Thanks, I am slowly getting the rough edges worked out. Like I said, I cannot believe how much of a difference a wash and good careful waxing made. Rock chips and scratches, remember this car isn't even two years old!

You're welcome I figured out what happened with the radio--Sirius has four sets of presets. I have been just using set #1 with some pop, hip-hop, and techno stations on it. You said you had hit the 'mode' button on the steering wheel, which doesn't control the traction control or anything, it controls the radio! it goes AM-FM1-FM2-Sirius1-Sirius2-Sirius3-Sirius4-AM-FM1-FM2...and so on each time you hit it. So, I'm guessing it was on Sirius1, you hit 'mode' and it flipped to Sirius2, which I can only guess what was on it, idk if I've ever used it!

Ya its slowly turning into a non-beater. There's still some spots that need love, so stay tuned. Thanks for the compliments guys, the biggest thing that makes me happy is that I let like 10 people drive it, they all had their way with it and it is still happy. I feel like the tires/rims/suspension/engine are all solid, time to start modding
