I am going to post this here just because.

My local dealer had zero experience with the FR-S. The service advisor is an older dude, who just bought one back in late 2012. First thing I did was talk to the service manager about the car.

I told him, right off the bat I am talking to you now because just in case I have issues I want you to know where I am coming from, the cars I have owned and the way I will bring shit to your attention.

He was cool but you could tell he was like: "here is another know it all asshole."

But after a few months of me talking about the issues with the car, they started to see some of them. Then the service advisor went on his first road trip 700 miles and got the idle dip CEL and had to have it towed.
After they their attitude changed towards me and so did my service experience. But I still don't trust them to do major work. I have priced out every major part, and aside from taillamps and the ECU thats all they have touched.


The point is most dealerships are not run by or for enthusiasts.

What they deal with is mostly the mass market people have no clue but expect the world. So they are jaded. Is it an excuse, nope. But Turbowski who is in my videos constantly sends me shit of the type of filth he has to deal with. At the end of the days, whether you love cars or not after a while of dealing with people and their broken cars you tend to lose you edge.


Here are some pics of the shit he sent me in the past few days.
If we had to deal with the heat, cold, filth and stupidity like this...
