The longer you let it go, the worse it gets and is harder to return to original glory.  But I realize it's pretty far down on your priorities list.

Plus, wax is super cheap.  Paint jobs rn't.

Paint and carpet is extra weight, anyways.

But super slick paint surface means better aeroflammatics.

Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

No, the paint gets removed first.

And it's a really cheap way to slightly discolor your paint over a number of years.

Max out rear tire pressure, minimize front... If that doesn't work to cure understand, install plastic lunch trays under rear wheels and engage rear e-brake

I must keep all tires at 65 PSI for MPGz.
And back sway bar thing is way easier to bolt on than lumch trays.

What about coilovers?

Well, I assume coilovers are for pretty boys and R compound tires are for butt pirates. I'm going with it.

I have fingered out some baseball park spring rate figures. Considering the motion ratios of the MacPherson struts and torsion beam, corner weights with one fat driver, desire to neutralize balance away from understeer, the effects of O.E. front sway bar and addition of more stiffness to the rear torsion beam, effects of high traction tires, and the desire to maintain some traction and sanity on public roads; I have come up with 391 lb/in front, and  326 lb/in rear. Somehow, the standard rates of Fortune Auto coilovers are very close at 336/336.  Megan and BC and 280/252. Those must be for pussies.

They found out I was doing Lyft, (how, I'll never know) and dropped my ass. I now have rideshare insurance, for cheaper than my old regular policy at Geico.

Varies from state to state. Geico does it, but it's kind of high. I'm with Erie insurance. I think State Farm and Allstate do it too.

When I looked at it, Allstate could add it to my policy.
