I'm in Nothern California, specifically Marin county.
That's great news. I've been itching to do some maitnence and after letting it sit for too long, I better get on it. I've read the best maintenance is to drive it regularly but I'm looking for some piece of mind.

Welcome - nice car. Be sure to keep a towel on that air cleaner if you display it at any car shows on sunny days. That shiny finish can concentrate and reflect the suns rays back on to the hood and burn the paint. Sounds strange but it has happened to several members.

Pricey but they look better than a towel - I got one as a gift and it does get used here in sunny FLA.
Your car looks phenomenal !
Enjoy while you can.
