Another Noob in Ohio Picks Up a M1009

Just a quick note to let you know that I have been a member for a while, drooling over everyone's vehicle pictures. I finally got my first vehicle over the weekend. My Wife and I drover over to Chicago to pick up an M1009 with 73K miles on it. I've included a few pictures, none of which I am in because I am too green with happiness taking the photo's.

The trip home was really uneventful, the only problems are the simple things that did not work or have been broken on the K5 such as the rear view mirror which I propped up against the sun visor, the drivers vent window which was hanging by the top hinge when I tried to open it, and the drivers door which sagged. But as you can tell I still have a high from driving it home, the Wife laughed because she said you couldn't wipe the grin off of my face as we stopped to check all of the fluids on the trip home.

Yea, I thought the stripe was a little retro also, my Wife does not like camo so she thought this vehicle was , "Pretty". The stripe will go when we repaint the body and put all new window rubber in it. :D

I'll try the desert camo and see what she says, she wants a solid forest green. I told her she gets to pick the color as soon as I get to paint her white minivan something new that I pick. LOL!

I hope that the mechanicals are that good also, first the starter relay and then the fluids will get changed. I will know more over the next few weeks.
