No it is not fun to race even if you do lose. That is a poor attitude. If you race just to lose what is the point. If you lose you are suppost to go mod more just so you can go beat what you lost to

I thought so too...But I would think he is going to have a better chance of knowing then I would, but you never know how many miles he had on that...Don't assume that it was broken in already...

Just because he's a service manager is no reason to assume he know's what he's talking about. Do you think anyone on their right mind would buy a ~$50K car and have to drive it for 6 months to 2 years before they could stand on it?

Yea perfect example, my uncle is a head service manager at a large chevy dealer here in jersey,he has a very limited knowledge about z06's, new vettes, etc...even w/ him owning 00 c5 (which he NEVER drives ). Reason being most of there sales arent performance oriented cars, and they dont work on those cars as much as the trucks, sedans,etc.
