So I took a c55 to the shop this weekend found $1000 of work that needs to be done in 5 min.
looks like I need front tires front pads and rotors and crank position sensor. I guess it takes money to have fun, this car has been very reliable and fun to drive. Going to go on a road trip to our Albuquerque from Los Angeles anyone have any ideas on how long it'll take? And any cool attractions i should look at on the way? Thanks for the help guys.

Stop by in Albuquerque for a quick race? Attractions, hmm... Petroglyphs, Valley of Fire, Tent Rocks, Jemez, etc. There's lots of cool places to check out down here...

I hope you have fun drive to Los Angeles. You should probably take 1 quart with you better be safe than sorry. Or come by W I Simonson and I'll check your tire pressures and top your oil off. Just ask the curt

I too was shocked at some of the maintenance, but it makes sense. Race cars change tires after a few laps around the track. Our cars are so sweet the tires make it 10,000 miles! I look at it as a nice performance upgrade each time, so it's a good thing
