Hey Peter, thanks a lot for the advice. I'll check on those things first chance I get. My father apparently ordered a manual so that will be a big help when it arrives. Here are some more questions though:

First, the suspension gets squeaky when going over speed bumps. Since this car has air suspension, I'm not so sure whats the best way to go about minimizing that noise. Are there any special tips on lubricating those parts?

Second, I think there are vacuum door locks on this thing but they don't work. Where do I begin???

Third, is there any way to clean up the chromed parts in the interior? i.e. the outline of the speedometer, door handles, etc... or is there an affordable way to replate them?

By the way, you're right, I love the car already- faults and all. Even though it rattles, squeaks and gobbles gasoline, its just too cool a car!

Thanks again!
Ian
