Jiffylube caught not doing billed maintenance

[Ed Kellock]

I know what you mean there.  I went through my springs/shocks phase years
ago, not with the CGT thankfully, but realized it's just not something I
need.  If I decide to start autocrossing the CGT someday, well then maybe.
Stock, there's just enough room to do it without ramps, but definitely not
much margin left there.  I bought a set of plastic ramps from WM that have a
much more gradual approach so I can get my V8 up on them.  Prior to that I
had to use wood to build up a ramp to get to the ramp.
