High Performance = High Price Tag!

I got my car back from the shop yesterday. Unfortunately it was not cheap. The engine was mis-firing which means the spark plug was no longer doing its job. They replaced the offending spark plug and drove around with the computer hooked-up to make sure they were no other underlying issues. They said that when one of the spark plugs goes bad, the rest are sure to go bad shortly there after. I ended up doing the 60,000 mile service about 10,000 miles early which takes care of all of the spark plugs and spark plug wires. They also flushed/replaced the antifreeze/coolant, replaced the air and oil cleaners, changed the oil, brake fluid, gaskets, etc. I also ended up getting the brakes replaced which I new was due and they are not cheap.
