Hi Silk,
In my opinion, very few folks maintain their car correctly.
On the JBL site there is a page:
http://www.jblmotor.com/JBLmaint.htmlBasic Maintenance
This page gives general rules of taking care of the beast.
I have found it odd that a number of prospective customers have read this page and said that they did not wish a car that required this much work.
These cars require that you give them the equal attention that they give you in performance. If you do not, then they do not perform, they bite you.
Why do you think they call them "Snakes"?
