Lessee...charging me $5K + extra so ~I~ can work on my own car, which I'd probably be doing later anyway...and either way it doesn't affect warranty...what a way to boost the labor force and make money doing it. Clever.

Tell you what, it'd be MORE interesting is if you got to work on other engines too, like the rest of the employees. See if GM would warranty that!

I know it's one of those "experience" things that can last a lifetime for someone that has a few grand to toss around, but still. We went to Niagra Falls for the "experience" and it cost us a LOT less than $5K.

I might pay that if I just got to go do that for a day...but not having to buy a Z06 or ZR1 to have the "privilege" to do it.
