Re: My new (to me) GT!

Only thing that's wrong with it is that the multi-disc doesn't work and I'm really not sure what's wrong with it. It won't accept any disc's nor will it eject any since it sounds like there's one stuck in it. Anyone know of any fixes??
The only upgrades that are planned at the moment is possibly the addition of a rear GT spoiler since I think that it looks kinda plain without.
On a side note: Since I had to drive 680miles round trip for this thing I told the dealer that I wanted it looked over so that I wouldn't have any issues on the trip back. So they changed the oil and rotated the tires for me. Well long story short we made it about two thirds of the way home and the front end started knocking real bad so we pulled into a rest area on the Pa turnpike and called AAA to come an take it the rest of the way home. At the time it I was thinking that the left side axle was going out, but after further inspection the next morning I found the the front wheel was dangerously loose. Enough so that I could more the wheel around about a good 1/2". Upon further inspection I found that the other four wheels where loose as well.  Luckily I decided to have in towed home when I did and not to limp it back since we where traveling at speeds around 80mph. I could have been easily killed. Needless to say I called and told the dealer just what was on my mind in hopes that next time they do any such work to properly torque the wheels before they send ANY car down the road whether it be 340 miles or 1. So let this be a lesson to all to have you wheels torqued even if you think that they don't need it!
