Well you won't prove them wrong, but people are afraid of what they don't understand and their is no other car I would rather have. Even with the problems the experience is better than anything else.

Well I am meticulous in my maintenance, but heres my schedule.

Oil Change: 2000 or less
Coolant Flush: Yearly about 10K
Plugs: Yearly
Coils & Wires: 2 years but no more than 30K
Trans & Diff Fluid: Yearly
Brake Fluid Flush: Yearly
Brake Pads: Yearly but no more than 12K
Brake Rotors: 2 years but no more than 30K
Belts: 2 years

During winter storage I do a thorough inspection of the entire vehicle inside and out.
