Newbie - Autumn Red '00 in St. Louis, MO

Hey everyone.

Great site - wish I'd found it sooner.

I've had my Solara for 3 years now. '00 5-speed four-banger with 73K miles at this point. One of my favorite things about my car is the color - the rare "Autumn Red" as I've learned it is officially called. The dealership called it "Copper," and that pretty much stuck with me when people ask, "Hey - what color is that thing?" Driven through KS, CO, IL, and IN and have only seen one other Solara this color and it was at a supermarket right here in The STL, MO 314.

Got the beige interior, auto sun roof, and alloy rims. Also have the gold trim, or a.k.a "Gold Package" as well. Absolutely love the car and am going to tint it out this week, which I think will make her super-sharp.

Thanks man.

You know what's funny? I'm pretty sure I have seen your car around before..

In fact, I hadn't seen a tinted-out modified Solara like that before, so I snapped a picture once to show my girlfriend.. -Were you in The Loop last year for the annual RFT Battle of The Bands deal? I'm pretty sure that's where I saw your car and caught that pic..

Okay, here are some evening shots.

Can't access my day ones right now - and I think those are best because this color really comes through when the sun is shining bright.

I'll add a few of those later..

What a riot. STL is no tiny town, either.

Yeah, I love The Loop too - I live in Dogtown, so it's a straight shot; right on the other side of the park.

Thanks for the offer - now that you mention it - do you guys repair sunroofs? I think mine's motor is cold busted :evil:

.. It is my #2 priority after tinting my windows this week..

-Oh, and I found the pic I snapped last summer - I wasn't lyin'!
