Congrats. I recently hit 50K on mine last month. Of course 15 of those 50 were this year. I realy hated working 60 miles away from home, and I didn't get paid for those miles either.

Yes, they work all the time, but I installed an on/off switch so I could easily shut them off when I want to. I got them off eBay, but I think www.procarparts.com also sells them now. Yes, needles work fine and nothing was broken. If you do a search for "gauge install pics" my how-to thread should come up. Also check my website for some more pictures.

I did the 30K maintenance at the dealer, which was basically replacing the spark plugs and refilling coolant. I don't think there is a 40K maintenance is there?

You guys do a lot of traveling huh? My 99 ES just barely hit 43K and my 02 P5 is still less than 10K. But I'm quickly racking up miles on the 99 though. 40 miles of commute to and from work total.
