Default Im new here and this is my new car

just picked her up yesterday and she threw a check light at me today i went to autozone and had them try to get the code for me and when the guy plugged in the reader and started the car the check engine light turned off and it read all systems normal. but when the light tripped is was sitting and talking to some one for about 10 min, i do have an exhaust leak in the flexpipe right after the cat but thats all it can think of that would throw a light.

sorry but thats the only pic i have of her as of right now but ill take some tomorrow after and nice wax job.

Looks good so far, congrats. Are you getting a wax job done or doing it yourself?
How many miles?

Congratulations. I wouldn't worry about the light unless it comes back.

Keep an eye on the mpg, if it seems too low, there could be a sensor related issue, also causing the CEL.
More pics!
