I wonder what Toyota would say if someone with a LFA pulled up for their routine service.

So I called 2 BMW's Service Departments today in the area (BMW of Tampa and BMW of Wesley Chapel). Both have informed they cannot service the new BMW Supra's. One of them told me it's because their dept. is not "Supra certified", while the other told me because it's not a BMW. I also asked them both if Toyota will service a Z4 and they said no (the latter I was obviously being facetious).

That's the best way to learn: baptism by fire.
