Hello everyone.

I just registered as a member, although i lurked around here for a while. My old man got me this car last March, '11.

It had some rust around the tires from sitting at the *cough*Ford Dealership all winter. Which i'm looking to touch-up this spring(Sad to say, i have to drive it in the winter). And last summer i had to change the spark plugs, cost around $245, did i get jibbed?, it was at the Ford Dealer, maybe i should have went to Chevy Dealer...

Anyway, I'm an amateur gearhead, wouldn't know how to fix complex things. This spring i'll be looking into upgrading/tuning it up. So i'll most likely be coming here for advice from Monte Experts.

Welcome to the site. That was a "a bit much" for just changing the spark plugs.

Welcome to the forum... I'm thinking you could have changed the plugs yourself for a lot cheaper with a little reading/research
