Sorry, the scar competition we were having there reminded me of something...

I hope you do actually have your legs.

I'm getting ready for my 60 000 mile service (to do myself) and I'm shopping for ignition coils, since they seem to be the most expensive part of the service.
I did my 60K, service about a month ago myself, I found out that I had a couple of hairline cracks on 1 coil and major cracks on another, ended up changing 2 coils only, you don't have to change them unless they are cracked or giving you problems.
