For the six speed owner: Have you noticed how little rolling resistance there is? I know it's a fairly light car and all, but I get amazing gas mileage because I can see a stop light a 1/2 mile away. I put it in N and coast the rest of the way, barely scrubbing off speed, and I definately don't hold up traffic. By time I start getting close to the stopped cars, light turns green, grab a gear, and go. Most times I don't need to stop completely thus saving gas, saving brakes, and saving wheel wash time.

After a wash and wax:
Not immeadiatley, maybee a day or two later. Do you find yourself getting out of the car, and looking back at it as you walk away. You walk 5ft (or a couple meters,) look back at it and say, "WOW, That's my car, and man it looks good!" Walk a few more ft/m turn and look, few more turn and look, trip over a pot hole, but still stare at it. <~~me this morning after getting to work.
