If you don't know where the secret compartment is in the car then do some research!

Check oil regularly, don't cheap out on tires, and most importantly get used to the car. Get the feeling of how the car reacts in certain situations; don't just dive head first into some twisties and total the car.

Most importantly though, have fun and enjoy the car. Best of luck.

Bridgestone Potenza SO2 (not the S02A) is the OEM tire for the 2000 and 2001 model year. They were made for the car. I have only used them on my car and like them.
