That's great! Can you send us the rest of that manual?  How about a 
"Serious Money" message flashing when the AC stops working or the clutch 
fails??? The first time I got the chime for the low windshield washer 
fluid, I was thinking someone should write something like this!

I think you can buy mud flaps for behind the wheels.  I've always 
assumed (or maybe someone told me) that the amidships ones aren't really 
mud-flaps, they are the result of a bunch of engineers playing around in 
a wind tunnel.  I had asked on a forum why my car (1998 900S) didn't 
have them and the answer was... it did, most people remove them because 
of reasons like you suggest.
