Bana wrecked his.

BTW, that car is nice, and can be a handful in winter.
Get her proper winter tires and sandbags in the trunk.

those cars are so simple to work on, I was able to change the water pump on my GT in less than 40 minutes.
for longevity:
Do a complete brake job
Flush the cooling system and install and electric fan(the stock clutch fan is probably close to seizing, or the plastic blades have been broken off)
Change the fluids(including transmission and rear end)
drive the pants off of it.
