95' 106K miles runs great, engine screams all the way to 6800 (well, it actually only 'screams' at 4000+), all original (tray I think is long gone). Everything works except cruise. Harness TSB not done. Original glass, panels & paint. Only had it 5 weeks - monitoring for issues, none yet. A lot of 40 - 60K milage type 'things' have not been done: original plug wires, shocks, lower control arms, etc. Hell, the plugs are probably original too.

125k miles. Driven "spiritedly" every day. Bought it almost five years ago w/ 60k on the clock. New steering rack, fuel pump and alternator done by me over the years. Other than that, routine maintenance. Oil change every 10k miles +/- and tires as needed.
Still only burns a quart every 3k miles and has not thrown an SAI code in its life, thus far.
Best car I ever owned.

..."and what are your maintenance protocols (oil type, grade and change intervals, who services vehicle, etc.)?"
