    Hey everyone.
    My name's Quinn and I'll be picking up my Maverick either late spring or early summer, my Uncle owns it and is handing it over to me once I have room for it.

    I'm a Japanese tuner-type, so this is my first American car and I know nothing about them, so any advice/information would be welcomed.

    I don't know if you're interested at all, but this is my other ride:
    1991 Toyota MR2 N/A (soon to be s/c V6)

    and this is the only picture I have of my Maverick:

    Sorry for the picture sizes.

    :Welcome:

    Man, they would probably chase me around with pitch forks and burn me at the stake if I showed up at work in THAT Maverick. :rofl2: I work for Kubota, John Deere is our biggest competitor.

    The funny thing is, the doors actually have Deere stickers on them :rofl2:
    Probably the first thing to go on the car. That work looks in Missouri, not so much in Colorado.

    Out of curiosity, what are some common problems I should watch for on Mavericks? Anything that I absolutely NEED to get for it?
    Anything else I should know?
