I'm guilty [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

On saturday I installed a set of bassani mufflers on my car, being as it was a gorgeous day, I had to take it for a short drive to try it out (ok, 20 minutes or so). I only had theft and fire on her.

Officially, i'll put her back on insurance at the beginning of april.

for a spin in the nice Weather. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eclipsee_steering.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/burnout.gif[/img]
The Site fixed all that by losing all those Posts. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img]

Broke down 20 days early, Nice weather and Town repaired the Pot Holes.
Plated the Car Yesterday, $999 for 7 Months and took it out of Storage.

Everything worked fine after 5 months 10 Days of Storage; [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/woot.gif[/img]

Battery fully Charged, CT 2amp Solar Charger on all Winter.
Started with no problem, Blue Smoke for about 2 seconds.
All Data and settings still OK.
Smelled good, Dryer sheets.
Ran Excellent, 40 Km/hr around town for about 6 Kms to make sure
all the seals, etc were ok then 160 on the Hiway.
Feels like a new Ride. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/love.gif[/img]

$19.95 humm do we really get what we pay for ? I'd like to think so and hope so, and don't do it on a Friday at the days end ! just incase that tech wants to bugger of sooner than later and oh maybe make a mistake. I( kknow it won't happen but" better have the odds on our side"!

$19.95 for an oil change! I paid $38 for a oil & filter with only 6km's on the oil, they could've reused the oil [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] HEHE. It's a blast to drive, feels like a new car!

No flat spots on the soft Pirellis tires either.

Sorry Adrenalin, didn't mean to rub it in. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img] The new Version will put that SE Grin back on your Face. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Special is a reward for servicing both vehicles at the Same Dealer and
is only good for week days after 05:00 PM and all day Saturday. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eyebrow.gif[/img]
Guess what, not valid Fridays. Alright! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]


Come in real handy for the Mustang, 50 Km between Oil Changes. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img]

What dealer offers a 19.95 oil filter 40 point? times are ok with me is it only because you service both vehicles. Im without use of my garage for a few weeks and didnt like the 40 the wanted to charge for regular oil.

Bennett Dunlop in Regina sent me a coupon after my last Oil change on the SporTrac. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/33.gif[/img]

Worked out to $26.17 with Tax, The offer was for a regular Oil Change
and one of the following;
40 point inspection
Tire Rotation
Front end Alignment

I went in yesterday, took about 40 minutes.
Watched the Tech do the work and did a closer inspection of
the GT [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/love.gif[/img] in the Showroom.

They reset the tire pressure to normal from the Storage setting
and found that the Battery failed the initial Test.

Left the Battery as it has not had a good charge yet, if Its still fails the
test next time they will do a major Load test on it and replace it under Warranty if it Fail that.
