Antonioali: our cars are hot-dip galvanized after assembly so salt has almost no effect on them. I play it safe with a top-quality rust-protection (Krown - it's like penetrating oil) that will wick into any cracks that have developed after 17 years, and have no visible rust anywhere.
When the clutch is cold, it grabs faster than when it's warm. Just touch the gas to put idle up to 1500 RPM before letting it out is all I need to do when it's cold. Keep your fluids new - I change everything every three years regardless of mileage. Then enjoy it!

I love how in the summer you can pull the top and drive down town at night, look up and see the night sky and all of the buildings towering over you.
Also, I like how you don't have to jump to get into these cars. gravity gives ya help in getting into them.

1. The way the car is centered around YOU, not the front wheels.
2. The impressed looks i get just backing into a parking space (I think it's the intoxicating noise coming from the tail pipe)
3. The sound from the intake when i'm cruising in 3rd at 2000 and decide to gun it (deep growl)
4. Driving during cool summer night with the windows down and the roof off.
5. How almost every single porsche owner i drive next to gives me a thumbs up or a wave (Recently had a 993 RUF Turbo give me a wave on the highway)
6. The fact that i can double suggested speeds for turns.
7. The warm feeling I just put the car in the garage, and I stare at it for a couple seconds before i turn off the light in the garage, and go inside the house.
