ACK! Don't use the brush at the car wash. Guy before you was probably scrubbing down a mud covered 4X4. Those brushes will trash your paint in no time flat!

Drove it to work. Took the long way home to get little change of scenery and enjoy the ride! I filled it up with gas on the way home too, been averaging over 28 mpg, very happy with that as well!

TBH the car is a sweet little car. Its not a S just a regular one but the torque on that thing is pretty sweet. At a red light when it turns green and if you floor it it takes off.

You know I'm not too entirely sure but I do that anyway. You have to press and hold the VSC button and then press and hold the TRAC button simultaneously for about 3-5 seconds before it goes into full traction off mode. I always put it in that mode because right now while mine is low on power it allows me to get a tidbit squirrelly without fulling losing traction. Unless I dump the clutch at 6k+ RPM.

Kissed the steering wheel, and gently rubbed the shift knob. I love her so much.
