Seriously. You lowered that? Why? Think it'll handle that 228HP better?

This is why I buy cars at CarMax. I hate dealers. So many ghost charges and phony charges.

Friend of mine worked at a dealership. Selling cars is way behind what the service area brings in. I trust very few people that work on my car.
Typically the actual profit on the car itself is minor compared to what the finance office and service department bring in.
btw-Never have the dealer get your financing for you. They'll usually hold a couple percent as profit on the rate and you'll never see it.

Bring your own financing and don't tell them until it's time and tell them to beat it if they can.

Because my son is 17 and he thinks it’s cool. I think cars look cooler stock, but the 86 isn’t mine.
The Eibach springs aren’t a crappy mod…pretty sure they’re twice the cost of OEM. Spacers aren’t something I’d ever consider, but I think outside of buying new rims I think it needed it. He’ll mod it better, coil overs…rims, and cat back exhaust when gets NIL money in college. It’s set for now.

That's cool AF.
And glad to see he's into modding his cars.

$300 cabin air filter change? Whatever dude.
Probably more to it than replacement of just cabin air filter. Did you replace the filter yourself?

If the car isn't pulling to one side or the other you don;t need an alignment check.
Absolutely incorrect. You could have castor/camber issues that certainly prematurely wear ties that do not result in “pulling”… but you do you & spread misinformation

Yes. Many times. It takes two minutes including cleaning out and organizing the glove box.

I'd wager Wisconsin frost ravaged roads are rougher than LA's and the only time I've had to have my trucks aligned is if I replaced a tie rod or something.

But did you replace the ramrod?

Invest in an air chuck and spray the tools down before you put it away, lazy arse.

A/C cleaning service? What a rip.
$307.33 for an air-freshener. These guys aren't even trying anymore.

Why the hell would I carry around and air compressor? I already have table saw in my back seat, last thing I need is another heavy lug around.

I love "forgetting" about a trade in until time for the paperwork.
