If they cannot maintain a sustained effort to keep me loyal, why should I be loyal to them? Why shouldn't I price shop?

Well, so far, none of the stores have shown me that they are deserving of my loyalty. Why shouldn't I shop at Wal*Mart? What has ANY of the comparative stores done for me? I shop Copps for my food because they are non-union, cleaner bathrooms and their people are more helpful SO FAR. As long as that remains the same, they will have my loyalty. So it is a 2 way street. You earn it and keep earning it and I will give it. Otherwise, you (not you personally) can go fawk yourself and I'll find the deal of the moment.
Amen!!! Competition is always good. Thats what make people sharpen their pencils and promotes innovation. Without competion, we'd still be driving big ol' cars!

Glad to hear your thinking of taking it to central fl euro cars... (they are going to be confused.. a 240D with a 617...)

They had like a laser setup.. big boxes that attached to the wheels.. (I always wondered what the holes in the center where for) Plus the tech had all sorts of bracing and locks for the steering...

I don't know about the laser stuff. As long as it is in tune, you should be fine. However, if the tech drops the head, the alignment is going to be out.
