[SNAKE CHARMER]

Bean towner.....I have a 700 series SPF purchased new in 2000.5000 mi,many 400 mi trips and never a breakdown.I'm constantly tweaking or upgrading...cuz I want to.When one treats ownership of a car like we have as a hands on hobby the upgrading and tweakig is fun....and is insurance to minimize problems.SCOF is a valuable resource that gives SPF owners heads up info re others issues that allow each of us to share upgrade ideas and problems B4 they may hit the individual....I'ts a resource provided privately (not funded by SPF). I too looked extensivly B4 purchase and considered all mfgs incl SAI AL- bodied...went w/ SPF cuz I wanted (IMHO) a top qual product in volume production, mfg. in factory enviorment with variable being drivetrain that I could control...also wanted hardtop and a/c (installed the a/c myself) btw works great and provids REAL HEAT and DEF...cant do this to many other brands...no room. Believe me all makes have probs. One hears a little here re their probs cuz issues are broad and no one is going to flame their brand unless they are really bull.SPF has sold maby 1400 cars, many resales ...the few real problems such as the rear lower A arm were handled by factory as a recall, covered regardless of warantee and repair allowed wherever the owner wanted compensated by dealer...pretty good!!!!!STEVE
