From what I've seen on the maint. schedules for the turbo and the S's the turbo gets new plugs @ 40K mi (or 4 yr.) the S gets them @ 60K or 4 yrs.

I'll be doing mine this spring.

Even on warranty, I feel like I always right some level of a check! I took off the secondary cats and added an exhaust.

Does your burn oil? I am right on the limit of 500 miles a quart? I gave up on the quart bottles and roll with the 5 quart jug now...

In the end, owning a Porsche isn't about where you buy it but who services it. So far, I have been farily happy with my service people.

It's a 'checks and balances' thing.....let me explain.

Ever watch Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom...the show with Marlin Perkins sitting back in the studio, drunk on martinis with a chimp sitting on his shoulder while poor Tom is out in the field trying to perform a vasectomy on a rhino?

No? OK, let's try this.

Every watering hole (internet forum) in Africa needs 2 things:
1. gazelle
2. lions
Now, the gazelle population (forum members) always has one gazelle (the esteemed moderator for the population) whose job it is to watch out for the lion, who is lurking in the brush (actually sleeping most of the time), just waiting for that one special gazelle.

Makes perfect sense, right?
