Default Just picked up an STR

Just Picked up a 2003 STR, Sweet car. Had 90k miles on it but grabbed it for a little over 10k with a clean carfax and all maintenance done on it. The things in immaculate shape.

Anyhow, just thought I would say Hi. Hopefully I dont have to many problems with it over the next years, but this seems like a good place for a do it yourself-er. Ive worked on alot of cars, but never a jag. Any tips? any special tools i might want to add to the tool box? thanks.

I'd put it down cause these things are heavy. You dont want to pull your back out before you get to do some drives in her. LOL. All kidding aside welcome and enjoy your STR.
