I'm currently in Brookline, MA, but am moving to Los Angeles in January for work. The car is currently garaged, away from winter nasties...but soon will be driven year round!!
I've had my car now for two years, and it's been the perfect summer car. Just as a point of reference, my car needed an A/C recharge (wanted A/C for really hot days), the SRS clock spring (light came on), heater control valve(coolant leaking on my feet) and a few other little bits as needed maintenance. I also had my shocks and bushings replaced to tighten up the suspension, though it most likely could have gone a few more years. Add a new top and headliner, and it feels like new. I always use the tonneau cover now, since I want to keep the headliner the same color all the way back.
I'm a detailing freak, and if your paint is in good shape, it's easy to make it look almost showroom. Get some 3M Perfect It II rubbing compound and Hand Glaze. Use the compound (spread on, wipe off), then the glaze and then a good wax. The three step process will make the paint look perfect.
Use lots of leather conditioner on your seats, if they haven't already dried out or lost their shape (these seats go flat over time). My back seat is pretty dry, and it's taking a long time for the seats to regain their moisture.
Most of all, enjoy!! You have a rare car that will always attract attention!
Cheers,
Paul H.
