Default New to CL & SCs

Hey guys and girls (if there are any here). I've been looking around this site gathering info for a while now and finally got my 95 SC with 168,000 miles on it this past Saturday. I traded my bone stock 1996 Honda Civic EX with 83,000 miles that I only paid $1000 for it for it straight up. I love the car so far and it being an original 5 speed makes it even better. I can't wait to get deep into the SC and learn new things. I'm a Honda guy originally but I really love SC since my dad had one a while back. It has Megan ez coilovers, it came with Mercury Grand Marquis wheels, full exhaust, LSD. Since I've got it, I purchased new seats, traded the grand marquis wheels for 350z wheels, restored the headlights and installed a new radio. Hope to learn a **** load from you guys now here's the few pics I have:

The Z wheels are an improvement. Welcome to the SC land of knowledge. Everything you need to know is on here, for the most part.
