I just picked up a 2000 with 30K in blue. What a car!
The trouble is I can't figure out how to stop driving it.

Congrats and welcome to the board. You should have a lot of fun with the beast. Once you get past the new car feeling, you should consider getting bigger front brakes, a short-shifter and a coilover suspension. These modifications will truely improve the beast.

Cheers.

Welcome neighbour - well almost. That is a great problem to have. Make sure your gas card is handy and drive on.
Enjoy.
