(my dad used the rough edge of a kitchen sponge to try and get tar off the rear hatch..OUCH. took me 2 hours and a random orbital to fix that one.)

yes - I take care of all my cars rather religiously...

Go out and enjoy the car for the drive, when you accelerate on the highway, you'll remember why you chose it.

Taking the X out to stretch her legs in the highway is reallly satisfying...
downshifting and accelerating is just pure joy!...
