Service intervals are great if you have the cash. Please buy the magazine people. I have a desperate need to eat this month :)

This is true. Filter, plugs and fluid changes are something anyone should be able to do. It saves you money and it increases your "man" status.

I would like to publicly thank Bluez for giving me the number of a company that charges much less than PG Autoglass. New windscreen here I come.

Oh on the previous topic, I took my car for a little drive and its not giving any of the problems that I had previously mentioned.
