Tinting keeps it a whole lot cooler inside in the summer
too. I'll tint the elky when I pull the rear glass and glue it back in
again... (poor finish on OE glass that nothing sticks to)

I like that exhaust brake too. I'd drive with it on much
of the time too as it also helps you burn a little less fuel.. Geri drives a
Stick PT cruiser. Crappy transmission too as it doesn't shift well (45K on
it). She thinks she knows how to drive a stick. Well it's a different
picture from the passenger seat... Way too jerky...
One thing I forgot to ask... Did you get the old emissions
version (I assume and Hope) or did you get the one with the Urea tank?
