Has a bird at least crapped on it? That's something.

Hey, don't laugh about the bird crap. The PO must have left a bomb on the paint for an extended period, and it etched the paint.
On the upside, it kind of looks like a track outline.

Start taking it apart. Im sure you'll find something that needs replacing. You have to think positive. Hope that makes you feel better.

Yup, dude managed to compress 1160 posts into 17. That's some fancy algorithm. Heh...

Time for a complete overhaul, especially after 1000 miles...

Krazy you are getting a rep for maintenance like Ivangene has for parts that don't fit.

I have the same issue as the OP with my car. I put 300 miles on my car that already has 103k miles on it and nothing broke. I'm worried now.

KK recommends you change your oil.

Nah, the bump stops are gone. They melted when I heated the springs with a blowtorch to lower the car.
