Here's a typical example of Florida ripoffs. Took the Vette in to the dealer for a scheduled oil change. Lifetime free and they hate it cause they didn't expect anyone to keep the car this long. So I asked them to check for the leak which I knew existed.
Diagnosis - leak from the intake manifold and one from the oil filter adapter. Cost to repair? A mere $600.
So I blast on over to my new best Vette friend (aside from you guys) Carlos, and run this by him. He says the adapter leak will become my worst nightmare dumping more and more oil but it is only a $60 repair. He also said the Vette is way over due for a new fuel filter so I will bring it back in the near future to take care of both problems. By the way - he does not support the pour- your-own additive theory as it causes the tank to suddenly loosen dirt from the sides and force it into the injectors. Of course this is good for his business cause then you will need to go to a shop and flush the injectors. Well some of us do. He says to stick with high octane fuel already supported with fuel injector additives. (This story is on another thread for those who just tuned in)
I also picked up two new wiper blades. Any installation tips before I scratch the windshield?:confused
