Cylinder on left bank not firing, loud popping on deceleration.  No time recently to mess with it myself so I make the "wise decision" to take her to the stealership.  (Name shall remain unsaid). Turns out it is nothing that new vacuum lines and nipples, plugs, carb sync, and valve adjustments couldn't fix.  That, of course, is after I tell them "no" to new tires, gotta get rid of those 90degree metal valve stems, rear brake switch adjustment, oil change and countless "other" items that are gonna cause a flaming death when I ride her off the lot.  Geez, where do these guys get off?  I know I'm just a dumb old doc but I haven't had that hard of an episode of upselling in a long time.  Oh well, ride on!

Yea, it's gotten to where I really hate to take my cager in for an oil and filter change. They always print out a list that is almost always over $1000 that I MUST have them repair or else.

Xander's screwed us on a new tire.  Did not honor his quote.  Won't be using him again.  He moved down the row of shops but is still open.
