Check for any campaigns at the dealer for recalls on one of the shafts. I forgot specifically.
Also if you have a sloshing sound, tell the dealer to replace your gas tank.
Other then that though, that should be all of it. You might have some wind noise but some decent rubber seals will fix that, your dealer can take care of that for you.
Most everything can be fixed at the dealer, go figure. It should all be under warrenty as well as they are manufacturer defects.

Congratulations!
May she treat you as sweetly as she looks!
Love the look of the turbine wheels, hate to wash them.
Enjoy the ride,

Just my 2 cents. Congrats on the ride! Check this car out for comparison: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4553589106

If you go to Griot's Garage web site, they have a great wheel brush that will make cleaning the turbine wheel very easy.
