Go all out on detailing. Wash, claybar, great quality wax, interior detail. Then fill up with gas and find a great road to drive on!

Also, I live in the LA area, any amazing roads i should be driving on? Want to take out my fiance on a scenic open road for a nice drive

In terms of off the shelf waxes you can find at your local store, it's hard to beat Meguiars NXT waxes. I'd go for:

-Meguiars Gold Class car shampoo/soap
-Mother's Clay Bar
-Wash one more time
-Klasse All-in-One (not necessary but I sure like it)
-Meguiars NXT Tech wax

As for roads in LA: Mulholland, Stunt Road, pretty much everything around the Las Virgenes, malibu area. You could head to sunset. So many choices around here.

Pulled out the back seats and installed two Recaro Vivos for my twin daughters.

I think the black stone guards go really well on white - as does the cherry red "S"

The C2S usually has white instrument dials also, I'm guessing the previous owner ordered black ones?
