There is a free mod for the TB. I cant find the websight off hand, maybee one of the other guys has it laying around. 20K miles is really low. Hope you got a good price on it too. Welcome

You should hook up with some of us in the Northwest regional forum. We have a pretty knowledgable little group with a lot of nice cars. Certainly room for more.
