Larry,  Was a time when I was pretty tight w/ our local Ferrari dealer here.  I once asked about these "major" services.  They include just about everything - all fluids flushed/filled, filters, belts, shift linkages adjusted, nut/bolt check, etc etc etc....  Not trying to justify the price, because it is high, but it's also very comprehensive.  And as always, Clyde is right - like *any* business worth their salt (airlines included, Clyde!), they will charge what the market will bear, and not a penny less.

Charles - I can't even describe how stupid I feel that I missed this math error.  Duh!  But thanks for the reminder!  :-)
 
And Rick - of course you no longer have to get the math right - that's why we keep Charles around!  ;-)

Not sure if this was a repeat/resend, but I thought we'd discussed this...  The dragon is because in China, MS is referred to as the "Red Dragon".  I have a t-shirt a good friend sent me from Shanghai with that same dragon and MS' helmet design (not on the dragon....  though that might be funny....).
