Bob it's a 2004 LE. Beige I think but has a gold tint in the day.
Looking for lid, right rear turn signal, and might as well do the bumper as well.

Low miles and little rust but it's a little cursed.
-Replaced bent wheels from Michigan roads. Mom trashed a cover.

-Got transmission fluid and filter changed at dealership, drove down to Indiana for Christmas and when I got back almost go creamed by a semi on an uphill on ramp. No fluid. They overfilled it and I had to explain the "hot" and cold markings to the service manager who looked it up and charged me for something else. Idiots.

-Got boned at a stop on sheet ice coming back from a funeral in Ohio. Guy was in a rusty family truckster wearing rags and apologetic. Stuff happens.

-Spent $500 on Eastwood undercoating w/rust treatment prep everything and sprayed inside A-arms and rockers chassis black. Thought I did a good job but it's poking through again after a couple years.

-Only good thing was that I wasn't parked a little further back...
Small limbs are still coming down tonight. Never saw this before with other ice storms.

These Siberian Elms are trash trees: Low split, long heavy limbs, sheds sap and detritus throughout the year, bark fall off., etc. Got rid of three so far.
The last two neighbors completely ignored me when I talked about getting rid of them. They didn't understand the concept of it falling right through their house.
The latest one also ignored me a year ago at purchase, but finally agreed. It is scheduled in another month with me heavily chipping in. Timing. Doh.
