4 speeds were ok but then got into Porsches,,,5spd then 6 spd and on...became a workout....auto so much more pleasurable.
Yes. Have experienced the manual 6 speeds too. For me it was necessarily another learning step. I initially hit a few gears correctly and more not so much. Then there was the absolutely necessity to find "reverse" in the dark..................a notoriously placed fairy-house even in daylight.
Edit: I enjoyed my time with the clutch, brake and throttle. Applaud everyone who does!

I am a Car Pro guy. Great product and there always pushing the holy grail of finish car products. The spritz for monthly touchups after wash is called Reload contains Sio2 which gives it its reflective wet look.. The soap that works great with the ceramic is called Reset. Intense creamy car wash. Go on Sky's the limit car care. Lots of goodies on there for our LC's
My experience with the spray on stuff has been aggravating. You spray it on, keep wiping it off, and still end up chasing smudges. I’d rather just reapply the ceramic coating more often.

I'm going to try McKee37's Hydro Graphene next. Spray on and immediately rinse off. I have used Carpro Hyrd02 in the past which is a similar product.
,Boys any short cuts, give a shortcut finish. When spraying on reload direct to rag or to the body, last much longer than spray on wash off. For me its a waste of time and product.
Almost at 60K, so starting the list of 60K maintenance items starting with an oil change. (coolant, brake fluid, rear diff, spark plugs, engine air/cabin filters, rear brake rotors/pads next )
This is a new to me car, got it around 56K and I found previous techs forgot the covers and missed a bolt.
Does anyone know the part number for the oil filter bolts? I think it's 51202F in this parts diagram but doesn't seem to have the bolts listed.
Seems like the covers are these - middle one is obviously the oil drain, but what's the cover to the side accessing? I didn't see anything obvious.

Interested in your rear diff. experience, (fill/drain plug size), as I have yet to change mine, (49,417k miles).
This is a very helpful tool when I service the diff. on my Maserati Granturismo.
