.The origins of the "Italian tune-up" came from the 60's era Ferrari 12's that did not have valve seals it was metal on metal. In the city the valves would get carboned up and hence in need of an "Italian tune-up". Whether it's PC or not does not really matter to me because I am not politically correct so I am exempt for the time being. Also I say "Italian tune-up" with love and affection and I am pretty sure that in the PC handbook if you are using the word with affection it's OK.

Tonight weather permitting ya'all just might see some short video of what I mean by a REAL Italian Tune-up
