Re: I got my 1993 Ruby (Mr Mojo)
I drove the car for a short time today..I LOVE IT
When I got in my jetta after driving the vette the past few days. I just about pushed the clutch into the firewall...wow what a difference :D
On our trip back from Northern IL, I got an average of 27.1 mpg
I was only doing 5 over the limit..the cops were everywhere..so i played it safe on the trip home.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Re: I got my 1993 Ruby (rubyred93)
You will truly enjoy that car. Given time, you will figure out the "quirks" of the '93. Be sure to transfer your info. to the 40th Registry so that records are kept current, and don't forget to :seeya .
Also, for a first time owner, I'll give you a tip. It's amazing how many Ruby's I've seen aren't aware of this. Check under your hood near the fan shroud (I guess that's the correct word). Odds are there's some rubbing going on underneath the hood. You need to file down that fan shroud or before you know it, you could have a hole in your hood. It seems every Ruby I've seen has black paint worn away under their hood from this. Just a tip.

Re: I got my 1993 Ruby (thrills)
My Ruby has 39,000 miles. I do not have the luggage rack. The sequence number is 9608. It has just about every option except the Z07. I was thrilled when I found out the car was a 6sp. I love it. There is not a swirl mark in the paint..the car is flawless. Too bad we still a month and a half of winter here..so I cant drive it much till spring.
I have wanted a ruby ever since I first saw them. The person who I bought the car from posted the ad on a friday and that sunday the was sold and a week later its sitting in my garage :D
