    I wish man, after 6-7 months of MAJOR work I was only there to get it on a flatbed down to Bobileff for some unresolved issues (Vacuume leak & SMOG) when I took this pic a couple weeks back.

    Anyway, after several more thousands of dollars they solved the open issues but after my drive back up to LA from Bobileff, I had to have it towed right back to FastCars on Tuesday.
    Kill me now. Waiting on the news.

    Busted radiator and some random electrical/suspension is the main stuff. In the process of rectifying, these guys bumped me to the front of the cue and cut me a nice break. I figure these things happen. It is a bit like wack-a-mole :)
    At least the resources and talent are local-ish and can be trusted. What do people outside of metros do ?

    Also, one has to remember that there is zero factory training available and there are zero legacy techs left for these cars. It is effectively discouraged even at the dealer level eventually. Small volume and low miles in general too. You can probably count “Top 456M techs” in the world with ones two hands.

    The amount of factory training on cars would blow your mind because we the factory foot ALL the warranty work, service contract work, rentals AND goodwill, plus buybacks ! We look at this kinda stuff, as well as shop protocol and process, with a microscope.

    Two greens were standard colors for the 575M, Verde Zeltweg Met and Verde British Racing. That does not look like either one, but custom (either coded or to sample) paint was not that expensive on the 575M.
