That's 2 mpg's well spent! :D

Nice stuff there, your car will love what you've done for her.

Those are all very necessary items and just remember these cars are great if they are well taken care of. For those of us that don't know the history of our vehicles it is important to have a good starting point or even if we do know the history it is still comforting to know that a baseline for maintenance has been established. Long live the 8!!!!!!!!!

Hell, at least gas is a little cheaper than, say, 6 months ago. A good gain. What else you got planned?

Did you ever get it all worked out with that issue of getting raped by that local dealer for work being done?

I got nearly 1500 knocked off the bill by using time estimates I found here in forums and comparing to their efforts.
I then took car to a diff repair shop in Austin who appears more trust worthy and knows the 8 backwards.
