I have a bucket with cleaning supplies, might even get a nice coat of wax on there if I have time.

I drive a lot of highway miles - this car loves the road. And 4th gear is the best highway gear (for responsiveness and acceleration) if you don't care about MPG...just don't keep it in 4th for hundreds of miles. Every time you get gas use the windshield washing tool at the gas station to clean bugs and debris from the front bumper and headlights.

wow 32.5@70 is great. I calculated all my times and speeds for 75mph, so I can expect 30ishMPG at this speed? That would work for me.
