My G5 burns through jet fuel like trailer trash through Velveeta. I had to cut my assistant's salary in half to cover the price increases. It's a never ending battle against the man.

Temps are dropping, winter is coming and the mods are letting us warm up for the onslaught of stupid winter threads.

Also, it's kinda cool to see a thread every now and then that is expanded to include info from the other sides of our lives. Gets kinds boring seeing the same old stuff.
Point is: I don't mind it. Keep them coming.

Get yourself a cheaper car to maintain or buy some tools and get handy. Saying that the regular service at the Porsche dealer is too expensive is like saying "I was mauled by lions at the zoo while wearing my pork chop suit".
I know people that own Ferraris, Porsches, BMWs and other high end brands. They take their cars in for service, pay the bill and have no idea how much it was 15 minutes later. That's the kind of money you have to have to drive those kinds of cars. You think the oil change and tire rotation was a rape? Wait till it needs a clutch (if it's a manual).

My 458 was in to touch up a bunch of paint chips in the rear diffuser, a windshield chip, a scratch in the interior and a paint scratch, ie not warranty work. Total cost $130. Now THAT is good service.

I change my own oil. Then use savings to buy stuff or take the wife out. I can afford to do both but I love to beat them out of their overcharges, plus I know its done correctly.

I guess if you own nice cars on this forum, and you happen to mention one, you get chastised. I'm bragging just because I talked about my car??? lol. I should have said it was a Yugo. Funny place this is!
