the $1400 bill

Well I took my car down to Down Town Acura today to get my car serviced to find out my bill is going to be $1400.

Amoung other things I need:

-New rotors (ya i've been driving hard)
-new break capilers with pads
-new rear sway arms (John said they were dangerously low, must be from cornering LMAO)

Not to mention when he hooked my baby up to the computer he mentioned "someone must be driving this puppy hard, theres some dam fast 0-60mph times on here" Now i would just like to know what those times were and I just hope he dont mention when was the last time i took her to the limiter when i pick her up cause my Dads gonna be there

btw this aint a complaint just letting you all know... i thought the breaks felt bad, i'm glad i've got new ones to work with Now I jsut need to get new rubber.

Does the top speed have a date recorded with it somehow? Or is it just for the lifetime of the car?
