Default picked up my new Neon today

and i LOVE it. it feels like a new car compared to my old beast. but it def. has some problems.

1. the headliner needs to be re-attached to the ceiling (it hangs)...i'm thinking about buying some interior adhesive to put it back up, is that how you do it or are there other ways of doing it?

2. the driver side door likes to fall off its track, my guess would be to buy a new track?

3. I think the speed sensor is bad. i started it up and it ran fine and everything. i let it sit at a park and then when i went to take it home, the instrument panel didn't work (it needs to be re-soldiered in the back), but then it came back on and the check engine light was on and the speedo was just going crazy and then as soon as the speedo stopped going insane, the check engine light went off and hasn't come back on. and i didn't get the code.

4. the head gasket. its def. the head gasket. it was fine until i made it to the park and let it sit for like 20 min. and then i noticed a big puddle under the car and it was oil and anti-freeze. but it was coming from under the passenger side (like by the door) so idk and the car wasn't over heating or anything.

5. Its slow has heck. i want my 4HP cam

6. I LOVE THE MOON ROOF!

i found out that my driver window leaks while i was washing her. i gotta get that track fix. I also found out that my Neon didn't come with the moonroof from the factory. which would explain the crappy head liner. all they did was cut a hole and then stretched the liner to fit.

Looks pretty good, what was the magic number? If the moonroof was not installed factory, do you think you will have a hard time getting the new headliner to fit (i.e. different position then stock??)
