  Michael,

  Do you want the damn parts or not?

  It seems to me you want the parts NOW and you want them
  at whatever price you deem "fair".

  Well, you can have "Cheap" or "Available" it seems.

  Driving season is basically here - pick one.

  Whining about parts prices on a car that, when new, was
  one of the more expensive toys on Earth - well, it's
  sort of "poignant".

  You own a FERRARI - and the car might be worth $30k, but
  the parts are still priced as if it were BRAND NEW and
  considering inflation, probably significantly more in some
  cases.

  If you want sticker shock, price out an A/C control unit
  for a F360/F430.  $3,xxx - all for a box the size of a
  pack of smokes.

  My F430 is approaching 60% of it's MSRP, and the parts
  prices haven't gone down a dollar.
