Welcome to the club. Funny you had that 'first day' experience.

After buying my car and going on a pretty brief test drive (on the ORIGINAL TIRES), I took it straight to Roush's shop in Michigan.

Then, after about 3 months there, it went to Pat Mical's shop in New Hampshire. (I'm in Alabama.)

Finally, the 'big day' and it arrived by truck at my house. Took it to go get gas, and within 3 miles, it choked out. Me and my son pushed it to the side of the road. Wouldn't restart for anything. Sounded starved. Called the wrecker, but tornado warnings held him up for a while.

In the meantime, I decided to swap out the fuel filter, in the rain, flashlight literally in my teeth. Though the old one didn't look THAT bad, it still had some trash.

I hit the key...

The car started right up. VICTORY! Hasn't let me down since.

Enjoy your car!
