I'm also a new owner of a 2000 S but mine's an automatic (not by preference). It's funny you mention the odd musical sound from the right front at moderate speeds because I thought it was just my car. My car spends a lot of time at lower rpms since automatic trans is handling the gears. I thought it was a tire resonance really don't know for sure. I was kind of worried when I drove it with the top down for the first time. I was wearing a wool hat and earmuffs but somehow the noise came through loudly and I thought something was wrong with the motor. Then the next time I drove it with the top down it was warmer and I sensed the noise was not mechanical.
