Make sure you are diligent about washing the undercarriage, door hinge area, engine compartment, etc. The humidity and constant wind cause the air to carry lots of dirt, sand, and salt particles. On some windy days my car would end up with a sticky film on it. I kept up with the washing so it doesn't have any rusty places now. Of course, I have been back in the Dallas area for the past 18 years. If you use your garage here cars can look good for a very long time. My original paint still shines.
I shouldn't brag about driving that fast. I don't want to encourage anyone to break the law or do anything dangerous. I redline my engine daily and drive like I'm always in a rush. I push it to its handling limits all the time. This beast is about as durable as they come. I have 350,000 miles on it. The way the traffic and gridlock is around here I don't need it to be any faster. It would only get me into trouble. It's plenty fast for the way the chicken-shits around here drive.
