i don't know what you guys are complaining about... i do all this to keep from having issues and i'm happy to do it.

and all this doesn't even hold a candle to the mods that are constantly going on with this car...

Just be happy you don't own a VW/Audi, BMW or MB... parts alone on a tune up and oilchange will run you upwards for $200-400+ on most of those! You can do a tuneup yourself on a Focus for under $100 easily!
