Two points responding to hackish's comments about P&G above:
Done correctly so that a passenger would not notice it, bump starting will not injure the drive train. There are lots of guys on this site with tents of thousands of miles of driving using P&G to prove that point. I've been bump starting my car for 40,000 miles maybe about once a mile on average, maybe more frequently than that. I'm still on the factory 1998 clutch. Got 219,000 miles on it. I'm not alone in that experience here... search the site.
There was also an extensive and informed debate about CAT temps and overall vehicle pollution on this site a couple years ago. Search for it. One point I would revive is pollution from a vehicle is not just about the fuel's point of use: all your fuel is shipped on intensely polluting ocean super tankers. Higher MPG through P&G boosts emissions if the cat is allowed to get cold, but higher MPG also means less business for those massively polluting tankers.
BTW, I totally agree that's a great looking car, nicely mldded too.
Cheers,
James
