The $6,600 tune up

This doesn't suprise me at all after reading a thread on Bob is the Oil Guy about the Ferrari Enzo. Oil change = $1,200, brake job = $30,000 :cooleek:

Two comments to add . . .



1. My friend's dad until recently owned a Testarossa from the late 80's or early 90's. The engine needed to be dropped for maintenance.



2. I want to be ceiol. M3 convertible, 21 year old gf, loves his job. What else is there in life?

:rules: ok -- this post is way off topic now, but I hope the others will forgive this! (and forgive the thread hi-jacking!) sorry.







and oh yeah, it's definitely worth it.



I seriously love performing eye surgery (even more than I enjoy cars and detailing). I'm very lucky because my passion is my profession.



If you're the type that likes working with your hands, likes working hard, likes helping others, likes mental challenges, and likes being meticulous, then surgery is for you. It also pays pretty damn well, but then again, it attracts the gold-diggers too (very prevalent here in L.A.)



It's definitely the long haul. If you want to do neuro-surgery, it will be 4 yrs for the Bachelors degree, 4 years for medical school, 1 year for internship, 5 more years of neurosurgery residency, and then 1-2 more years for a neurosurgery fellowship = 15-16 years of school/training after graduating high school.



I did 13 years -- I finished high school at 17, then after 13 years, at the age of 30 I 'set-up shop' in private practice -- I work 4 days a week, then 1 day a week I teach ophthalmology surgery to the resident doctors at UCLA by doing free charity cases.



And then I spend the weekends with my 21 year old girlfriend -- who's not a gold digger.

Only those that get into the field of recreational pharmaceuticals :lol
 
The 30k mile service requires the replacement of the timing belts,in addition to a number of other checks and replacements.The engine looks like one from a 512 TR which does require the engine to be removed to change the belts.The newer Ferraris,550/575,360,430,612 etc do not require an engine removal.

The billing rate for a Ferrari mechanic at a Ferrari Dealership is $105-$115/hr.

That may be true, but at this Lamborghini Dealership, which is where they are doing the tune up, billing rate is $185.00 an hour. I saw the sign. Gary
