If you set the mirror adjusting selector switch to the middle, not L or R, it will stop dropping when you back up. It is a feature of the car that the mirror will drop in order for you to see the curb better as you are backing up to parallel park. This drove me crazy on my 05 STS until I...

Congrats Blue Steel! I'm in Sterling Heights... When the weather breaks, we should try to get together. I saw from another one of your posts you're looking for a good repair shop in the area. Me too. Let's keep looking out for one. Hope to see you in the spring! David

Hawkeye: Thanks for the advice! I had already found this service bulletin due to your detailed previous posts and downloaded it for my records. I found a leak right after purchase going through my first car wash, but have been unable to repeat it. I am writing it off to a high pressure gun...

Thanks for all the good welcome wishes from everyone. I, too, hope to meet others sooner than later. I love Montana, but doesn't look like that can make it on the schedule this year, while Dublin has a better shot, but still a long shot. Next year we will have plenty of time to plan...

Hawkeye, What do you mean that you "printed out window sticker"? Do you mean you had the original and blew it up to easily view it? Or you were able to obtain a copy of the original somehow and printed it out? I would love to have a copy of my original window sticker... David "Dirny" Dirnberger

2014? Any word if base XLR's are invited into the V corral again in Detroit this year? Not sure who to contact to get confirmation. David
