More information please

Perhaps this should be a permanent fixture at the top of this Forum. When you are looking for help fixing a problem with your car, it is VERY IMPORTANT to mention the YEAR, MILEAGE and whether it is an automatic or manual transaxle. Listing ANY recent work or modifications is a big help as well. The MORE information you can put out there, the FASTER you will get an accurate assessment of what we (well I anyway) think might be the source of your problem...THANKS!

Maybe we can do it like the chatroom ASL (age, sex location) and have it something like YMETM (Year, Model, Engine, Transmission, Mileage)

Thats why my code name says 92SL. Just in case I forget to post it.
That means old, manual and old

I like SC2's idea. Of course, How would we do the mileage? Like in my case do I go 113k + 2 years or 113k++ or say what I think it is 175k. :P

I'm thinking even I could figure out that UM92SL2M116km means UnModified, 92 SL2 Manual with 116,000 miles...

I'll second Wolfman on this. It makes it SOOOOO much easier to figure things out with the right info.

The state cop wanted to know if I wanted to keep the deer. My wife was more concerned about trying to find peices of my fender so nobody would run the fender over. WTF?!? Ever see a Saturn after it hit something at 65 MPH in -70 deg? Not pretty!
