Thanks in advance for the advice and opinions any one may wish to contribute.

Mine is very solid.
There is a thumbwheel on the left side of the dash that controls the brightness of the gauges. It has two click positions. I always have it in the first click. That time when I had flickering it turned out that someone had moved the thumbwheel out of the first click into the "no click" zone. I clicked it in and flickering went away.
*** the second click turns on your map lights and rear courtesy lights.
I want to respond to some comments made last night. Personally, I'm working from an 800 Mhz Pentium III with a 56k modem, and I have to say that my modem is clearly the issue with the slow loading pictures, not the computer itself.
Some of you may have forgotten that we have a separate Photo Gallery discussion in the Owners Club. It would probably be better to post the actual pictures there, and maybe post just the links to your pictures in this discussion.
That way folks (like me and tucsongil, and everyone else who either cannot or has not yet upgraded to broadband) will know what they are getting into when they go to load a page.
I think it was fuzzywuzzy who asked a few days ago about posting a picture with the owner's permission - I asked, and the response I got was that folks should be posting links to pictures as a general rule, not displaying them.
So here is what I'm asking folks to do - use links more often than img src tags to draw folks attention to pictures. And feel free to use the Photo Gallery in the Owners Club to post all the pictures you want, that is exactly what it is there for.
Deal?

As for Japanese cars. Hands down if I could have afforded it I would be driving a Lexas GS400. Anyone that knocks a [non-permissible content removed](anese) car has obviously not drove one or been driven in one! And they make darn good lawn mowers too!
dean has been running these gears and nitrous for awhile, no problem. same with kyle, just the gears, no problem.
ruski- As for the flimsy body, I think I worded that wrong. Don't get me wrong, the 300M does have a rather hunkered down and meaty feel to it, but it doesn't seem to be as tightly stitiched together and flex-free as many other comparable vehicles. Take for instance, in a late 1999 Car & Driver magazine where the new for 2000 Pontiac Bonneville was tested, they made the following comment: "You still feel an occasional floorboard shiver that you wouldn't feel in a BMW 7-series or Audi A8. But held against cars more in the Pontiac's price range, such as the Chrysler 300M or the Mazda Millenia, the Pontiac's rigidity easily clears the bar." In other words, the 300M really isn't all that bad and is a solid vehicle, but it could benefit from a slightly stiffer and flex-free structure. You understand what I mean here?
Well, that's my $.02, take it or leave it.
PAT - you like that link dont you? don't lie!
well, guys, ill have you know, i have some pretty big plans for the M. first and formost i have to find out if there even feasable, then if i can afford it! but in due time, you will all see what i'm intending on bestowing upon you. mwahahahahaaa!
p.s. im either going to update my page tomorrow, or if i can get the energy up, perhaps tonight
Actually, that one is a different link than the one to the Mods discussion I posted a while back. I think you folks might forget that you have several other discussions in the Owners Club entirely dedicated to things like mods and pictures which are completely at your disposal.
And some of you may not be aware that you can easily get to the Owners Club by clicking on the link that appears under the discussion title at the top of the page.
That said, happy posting - you're falling down on the Top 10 chart!! ;->

Gas mileage is an issue with the M!
The deals the site offer were at the end of the month and I hope that Dell offers the same deals at the end of this month(I beleive that they do specail deals at the end of every month). If not, I always play the waiting game on a high dollar ticket item to get the sale price/special offer. Also, I always the Dell catalog sent to me at work each month and sometime twice a month. Dell for me too, hopefully soon!
Enjoy yours you lucky dog!
But the M is a MadMan(Pulp Fiction, cocane sceen) on the freeway! It just goes into hyperspace at high speeds! The dual exhuast system helps alot here! *_O
I got a great deal on a 2000 LHS back in Jan. of 2001 and have had a persistent problem with it from day one. Sometimes when I start the car, the steering makes a rhythmic clicking sound and you can actually feel a "kick" or "tug" on the wheel. This only happens when the car is stationary or under 15mph. Once I go over 15mph, the sound and tugging stop.
I bought it to the dealer the first time and they dismissed it with the infamous "couldn't detect the problem" excuse. It happened again when I was only a few miles from the dealer and test-drove it with the service manager. He said there is "definitely" a problem with the variable assist steering. Specifically the "solenoid" (spell?). They replaced the entire steering column and sure enough, the problem didn't go away.
They then replaced the body control module (BCM). (While this repair was going on, someone stole all 4 of my chrome wheels and tires when the car was in the service lot to the tune of $4,500 including some body damage, but this is another tale).
Lo and behold, the problem still hasn't gone away. I brought it back to the dealer and the morons again said that they couldn't detect the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If yes, does anyone have any idea what is causing the problem? I would appreciate any help or info on this problem. I am also posted this on the LHS board.
week I got 26 when the weather in New England was pretty
cool (it rained one day too!) with the AC off. I'll cruise 65 - 75.
I use Mobil, Exxon, Amoco 89 Octane ($1.73/gal). It might
make a difference. I drive in "D" but will use autostick around town (fun).
Yeah, I jump off the line from time to time to see how my passengers like
getting pressed back in their seats ;-)
I check the tire pressure (32psi) often. I have the Mich tires. I take out the air filter
to clean it every two weeks (tap out the dirt/bug snot/ still looks new). I bought
a K&N filter but have not put it in yet. I'll wait until 10K the factory recommends
to replace it. Incidentally, I check mileage the old fashioned way. Fill it up, drive X miles
and fill it up again. Divide...yaddy yaddy, etc. I check the computer - it's pretty accurate
too. I hit reset every fill up.
he said that he did it that one time cuz dude had his/her car sittin there for a while doin 20k of work on it, and he had it there to mess with, he said he couldnt do it again.....
lets see what they can do in nashville.....
On another note, he did say that Monday he would call around because a few months ago he was told that a few places they do business with would be making upper and lower billet replacement grilles for the M and he would call me and let me know what he found out so I'll be sure to keep you posted.
Sorry about the wild goose chase.
Let me know if you hear any good news on your end.
