Heyian... some Eye puzzles end up with almost all of the clues asked on here! And you can always post to ask about, check, the parsing of any you're unsure of.

17d) After continental drink, gives up car. I’ve got M-R-E-E-
25d) Second shit in a row. S-R-P

Last two to get. Stuck in a rut of MURDERER and SYRUP!

Thanks ChrisE.
