He went through EVERYTHING. Tune, belts, fluids, you name it. He knows that I do the oil change thing so he left that alone. The week after I get back, I go to a dealer just off RT95 in Danvers. Oil change is done and the 21pt inspections says I need a complete tune-up! I told the guy that I just had that done less than 500 miles ago. He gave me the blank stare, took my credit card and sent me on my way. When the car was still new, I had it in to the dealer in Stratham. The service guy comes into the waiting area as they are working on it and says, "It's been 3000 miles since your last oil change? Should we take care of that?" I told him that the service manual recommends 5000 mi oil change intervals.
There was a slight hesitation before he said...."So is that a no?"

Chrysler may cease to be a brand after Friday:

If [retiring CEO Sergio] Marchionne actually kills the Chrysler brand, it would be the end of a nameplate with over 90 years of history in the United States. However, the lineup consists of just two models today: the ancient 300 sedan and the still fresh Pacifica minivan. With so few products, axing Chrysler is easier than ever.

Fiat may pull out of the US—and China.
