That's a great idea, Marty. Of course if you take to one of these "5-star
dealers" that I've read about on the DML they may not know what that book is
to begin with. Hmmmm.....they might even learn something....I can hear
their head mechanic now..."Hey, what's this book on the front seat here?
Hey guys, come here....look at this...pretty neat book, huh...I wonder where
we can get one of these?" hehehe

There is a secondary purpose to investing in the FSM aside from the obvious
which is not to be underestimated:
I leave it on the passenger seat when I take my '00 4.7 cc in to the dealer
for
service on the theory that when the service mgr and mechanic see it they
will be
much less likely to try to bs me. I always put bookmarks hanging out from
the
sections dealing with what they will be working on as a reminder that I've
done
my homework. There was a huge difference between how I was treated before
and
after I started doing this. Now they actually take the time to _fully_
answer
my questions before and after work is completed. I wrote my name on the
edges
of the pages (book closed) so it won't get mixed up with their manuals by
mistake.
