Welcome to the site!

The SN95 is a very durable platform. Besides changing the fluids regularly, keep a fresh fuel filter on it and change the plugs every year or so. If a leak or something develops take care of it right away! The rear caliper slides need to be greased when you change the pads as these can seize after time and make a nice grove in your rotors. If you have leather seats, which I'm pretty sure the 35th Anniversary Edition does, keep them conditioned well. The leather will crack if not taken care of. Always keep a fresh coat of wax on the paint.

Enjoy the car and drive responsibly. There is a time and a place for cutting it loose, be smart about it.

Keep an eye on all of your suspension bushings as well.
