    Finally got around to joining after acquiring my 2004 ZHP last November. Car is black, 33K miles, 6 speed, with leather seats. So far, have changed coolant, brake fluid, and gearbox oil, had alignment (rear was out), and added ground wire update to rear lights (it had not been done previously.) Dealer says there is a slight valve cover gasket leak, but is quoting more than $300 for replacement, which seems high even at their rates.

    Car will probably get a new battery before winter, and I am thinking differential oil change next time it gets serviced.

    Any other thoughts on preventive maintenance appreciated.

    Love the car and am enjoying it immensely.
