Better hope the 24 months doesn't run out by then

Just had my 10,000 mile "service". $248 for an oil change and cabin filter (probably didn't even need it) seemed to be a rip off, but I love the car. Still get lots of waves, smiles, comments, questions. It's all fun!

I am going to do my own oil change and have the 10K service done w/o the oil change fee. It saves me $130, to bring the cost to $60. Try that next time.

Just hit the magical 10,000 mark but I won't be able to hit the dealer for a few weeks due to work. I'll do my own oil change in the meantime. Only saw the wrench once and it was with a -100... does that mean I got 100 miles to go??
