Thanks everyone for the tips. So much fun stuff you can do with the car! Actually right now I'm just focusing on learning how to drive manual. Anyone know what's up with the "low coolant level without external leak" recall? Noticed coolant level was about an inch below the low mark, looked on the web and saw the recall, brought to the dealer and they couldn't find any leak and just topped it off.

Found some info regarding coolant loss in Blue Angel's "FIX: Coolant Odors/Coolant Loss From Reservoir"
thread (not allowed to post links yet...)

So I checked my overflow tank and sure enough the throat area has the same roughness as shown in Blue Angel's thread and my o-ring shows similar level of deformation. I'm not noticing any smell in the cabin or outside, but I'll probably go ahead and get some thicker o-ring anyway just to be on the safe side.
