help me!! i just looked at it under light...there's swirl marks everywhere!! what's the best stuff to use to make it as smooth as a baby's bottom?
also, sometimes when i push the clutch down, about half a second after it's all the way, i hear/feel some sort of 'thud' very quiet, but still there - only sometimes...?
and this second gear grind thing...do the gears really grind, or is it just a weee little crunch? cause i get that, but it feels more like the stick just being sticky...hehe

Congrats, dude, welcome to the club! The GRIND is very pronounced and pretty severe in its bone chillingness. Happily I have only had it maybe twice. You are talking about a kind of notchiness in the shifter. The shifter is a joy in its short throw, but it's a little clunky. You may want to look into having it replaced under the TSB-55 that is flying around here...
Since God only knows what your car went through for it's first 7900 miles, it's hard to say. But yes, what a joy on mountain roads...! Welcome again!!
Cool sig, btw...I like.

I recommend the Zaino Bros treatment for your car. Follow the instruction they send and on their web site. They are quite complete. When you are done, it will be so shiney that you'll have to wear sunglasses to even glimps at it in sunlight. 
Here is their web site: http://www.zainobros.com Good luck and welcome!

Don't kill me...
I have no garage to park my baby. Besides covering it...anything I should do? I was even thinking of renting one of them storage spaces and keeping it parked there. But at around $300 a month...it's a bit steep.
