Default The $6,600 tune up

My first detail (paint seal) since I got back from vacation was this beautiful Lambo Roadster convertible.I did it on site at the dealer, one thing I noticed in the service area was this engine the mechanic was working on. I asked him where it was from and what he was doing to it. Turns out it is from a Ferarri and he was doing a 30,000 mile maintenence. Hmmm, I said so what does that cost? well, we bill at $185.00 an hour and it takes 36 hours for this car. Ferarri makes some of their models where you have to pull the engine to work on them. I guess I will scratch that car off my "want" list.

Well, if you can afford the car, hpefully you can afford to keep it up. Besides, Anyone who owns something like that will probably take about 3 to 4 years (or more) to put 30K on the odometer.

How do you detail "bubble wrap"? Because if I owned it I'd be afraid to drive it.
