June 26, 2008: Update
Within the last week, I turned over10,000 miles, had the 10K service done and added JCaps oil, coolant & washer fluid caps to the engine bay and seat back knobs. Been taking kids to the ballpark and back and fourth to college so the miles added up this week.
During the 10K service, the dealership sprayed some sort of spray lubricant on the hinge areas - WAY too much - and the spray stuff melted the nice heavy grease that has been on those hinges since I got the car. All of the greasy mess ended up flowing out of the door hinges down the jamb and out onto the lower part of the car, causing a greasy mess to clean up. Hope I got most of it off, and that it doesn't collect too much dirt now...
I like the look of my new JCaps, but noticed the engine bay ones get quite hot to handle.
Ordered R32 door sill plates from England, but have not gotten them yet, hopefully they will come in the next few days.
Still lovin it.
The other day, my brother in law was visiting from Washington state. He and I went to pick up my son from school. On the way back, about 1:00am, we stopped on a tree lined back country road, and I gave him a demo of launch control. The road was lined with trees that went over the road so with bright lights on, the effect was like launching out of a launch tube on one of those Sci-Fi movies like Battlestar Gallactica. It was great - he drives a Camry and his mouth was hanging open afterward. Even with three full sized adults in the car, she launched very well.
For fathers day I got one of those Mr. Clean spray nozzles that rinses the car with de-ionized water and is supposed to leave no water spots. Looking forward to using that.
