just check your oil level. they also say that driving your car hard every once in a while is good because of the learning ECU.

I check fluids and tire pressures *before* a hard session. Afterwards I park the car and relax.

Maybe top off the tank?

Drive and enjoy. These cars are pretty trouble free.
Just ask CKit.

, this is not directed at the OP. IMO If you arent going to drive it like it was ment to be driven, then why even drive it at all?
