Proud new Owner!!

Hello all,

Just thought I'd quickly introduce myself since I will likely be coming back here for most my information.

I am a week in from my Micra purchase and am loving it. this is very different from from I normally drive. My other vehicle is a 2012 F-150 raptor, so there is a bit of a size difference.

It's a 2015 with 199k kms on it. I got it on the cheap cause of the higher mileage for the year. First on the list to fix is the rear shocks. they are completely blown and the car gets a bit squirrely when I hit bumps at higher speeds.

it is definitely a new feel that I'm not use to. but on the drive home after picking up the car, my wife told me that the the back passenger wheel had a lot of bounce when I went over bumps. so I checked the shock, and it's covered in dirt and oil

after replacing the shocks I'll be looking for lowering springs and rims.
