just machines in general, no specific machine. i just don't like being hassled and some service places are more than willing to go out of their way to give you a hard time because you did this or that.

trade-in

they took my 01' c240 in last week for a trade-in.

it was dropped with h&r sport springs, the manager actually told me that he liked it better that way and it would probably be easier for him to sell.
