I read something for the first time the other day (suspected for a while tho)that the car manufacturers are pretty stingy about giving out information on the latest and greatest info on their cars. There's apparently a legislative battle going on over it - here's an article - because it obviously puts any independent at a disadvantage. I'd been wondering why, although I live in an area which has to have the highest Subaru per capita outside the People's Republic of Boulder, CO, I have to drive 15 miles to an independent mechanic who works on them, not that big a deal unless your car needs a mechanic. Tough call. I suppose if I manufactured a car, with all the liability issues surrounding it, I'd want pretty tight controls over who can work on it. But to tell someone he/she can't make a living wrenching on a huge percentage of cars on the road just seems downright un-American. Plus, it's not like there aren't testing and certifications that could ensure an independent's competence.

Well, good luck. Seems like just from the number of nibbles on this board, something will work out.

 

YOOOO man, another templetoner!!!!!! sweet! PM on the way.

 

Just south of Providence, so it would be a bit of a ride.

 

When is Tascas car show scheduled for this year???

 

Currently Scheduled for September 6th. Shelby may even be there again.

Yes that was a good place I bought my 97 F150 there in 1996 after it was sold it went downhill. I still see the old owner though time to time and the two buildings were just torn down.
