I've got an appointment this thursday to get my car taken care of. I'm hoping that I don't get any power loss at all over this. I'll **** if I do.
I spoke to the guy that works there over the weekend and he said that they'll fill up my tank for me, so I'm gonna drive it to work tomorrow if it's nice outside.

according to the dealer notice, they are supposed to top off your tank and clean the inside and outside of your car. So when I get mine back, I'll chew into them if it isn't detailed.

I still haven't gotten mine back or heard anything from them. If my tank is not topped off with premium and car cleaned inside and out AND a beautiful woman is not the passenger seat someone may be hurt. I'm calling tomorrow as I told them to call me before they do anything and I haven't heard a word.
If I come to pick it up and there is a reconditioned "new" engine in it I'm going to flip my ****. Castrucci Mazda just made my list.

"Castrucci Mazda" Now there's two names that don't go together.
I guess there's a "Bin-Laden Buick-GMC" or a "Goldberg Mercedes" right around the corner?

I opted out of the car wash when they told me it was a brush wash. I finally got it back today after calling them. I took them over two days. No bullet holes you racist bastards.
Haha nice myfuncar! Bin-Laden cadillac has the best service. They give you a free camel rental with each service call.

I can certainly help you clean the K&N. I just did it last weekend. It's easiest to take off the strut tower bar, and everything leading up to the throttle body. It sounds like a lot, but it's really not all that terrible. You'll also need to make sure you have both K&N filter cleaner and the oil. The part that takes the longest of the whole thing is waiting for the filter to dry before you re-oil it. If you want to swing by Sunday we can watch the football game and have a filter cleaning party.
As far as the wax... what baseballgenius said. I use Zaino and make sure that I have an afternoon free to do 3 or 4 coats. That usually lasts at least 6 months and works beautifully.

Sunday for the game would be good. Take the car apart and clean the filter... let the filter dry during the first half of the game... oil the filter at half-time... re-oil after 3rd quarter... then put everything back together after the game.
If that doesn't work out just let me know. I think I'm relatively open this Saturday, too.

Ok. Waterlogged this weekend is good for me. I am going out tonight so it depends on how much work I get done on Saturday. Going into the office so if I get done early enough we can do it Saturday. If not see you on Sunday. I will be in touch with you before then.
Fisherdn this weekend good for you too? (I'd like to see the tranny done).

I've done the tranny and diff juices twice now, but I'll need someone else's garage because my one-car garage just doesn't offer the room needed to crawl under the car. I've got everything else, though.
Chico, Sunday is shaping up to be a better day for me. I'm volunteering to chat with some kids Saturday with the same medical problems I had as a kid. If you're wanting to do the filter you need a good couple of hours to allow it to dry before re-oiling it. If Sunday doesn't work for you then I can give you a call when I get back from the kid thingie.

Yeah probably my place as I have a garage. I can throw some burgers on or something, as long as its not a million people. Saturday afternoon sometime works for me. Brad I'm sure I can convince the guys to let you come... sometimes they require beer bribes though
