tampa dealer gripe

IMHO, if yer relying on the rare dealership visit & a 'full circle service check' to measure oil + coolant level, you shouldn't own/operate a sports car. i check all my fluids everytime i gas up, that way the car would be at low levels for a max of 250 miles, if that.

not to say that the stealership didn't screw up, but you gotta own the responsibility of visual inspection. oil, coolant, tires, ps & brake fluids are all easily checked. (attn)

Well absolutely!

You miss some of the point

I had owned the car for about 4 days when I took it in.

My old car had, has, 220 K of tender loving autocross laden miles with 3 clutches 4 halfshafts untold oil changes bla bla bla all done by me

I took it to the dealer for warranty work, and to establish a relationship in case one of these sensors f up

They showed me, CLEARLY, why I do my own work

But I need receipts to maintain the extended warranty
 
Who all here lives in Tampa with a speed?

Me (New Port Richey)....(wiggle) Bought at Wesley Chapel but was told NO MODS allowed if returned for any service...to bad...they lost out on money...I use Ed Morris who is a little more mod "comensense"...meaning they won't void me for having a test pipe if my cowl squeaks...

But I do most services myself.

As far as I know Wesley Chapel is no mod. I have not tested them yet. I just take off mine when I go in. I am quite fast at it now. I go there because I got 4 years of service for free when I bought my car. Really no point in me paying for it then.
 
Riverview here as well. Summerfield Crossing/Big Bend Rd. Haven't seen any Speed3's South of Brandon since I got mine. I'll have to keep an eye out for ya.

i almost in lithia/fishhawk area technically, off of boyette rd. ill keep an eye out for you as well. Ive seen about 3-4 other speeds here locally too..
 
I am currently in Wesley Chapel bordering New Tampa. I have seen two black speeds out here. I think both were GTs
