Replacement of all springs as part of maintenance?

Does anyone replace their 6 or so springs on their unit as part of routine maintenance, say once every two or three years?  Or do you guys wait until a spring goes?

So...you think the 8 garage bays at the local Honda dealership are for weekend oil changes??

My neighbor works for Honda and I raced a Honda in SCCA, so I have some good Honda info/insight in that regard.  He often has new Honda cars and OPE and I have a chance to use them.  Like anything with a "premium" image, you pay a price for that image.  Part of what you're paying for is engineering, and another part is brand.  Thats just the way those things work.

One of our cars is a Porsche, which we bought used.  I've worked on it extensively and by all accounts, it fits the same category.  The engineering is "meh", its difficult to work on, parts are expensive, and they often break.  Does it drive nice?  Yep, sure does.  Is it worth 2x a Corvette when brand new?  Definitely 100% no.  Do people think it is cooler?  Yep :-)
Ariens 1128LE (924121) gear selector moves by itself

Hi all!


As I was blowing the snow the other day, the gear selector on my Ariens moved from 1 to 3rd to full speed all by itself.  After I shifted it back to 1st gear, it did it again.  It wouldn't stay in the lowest gear, or 2nd or 3rd.

Any suggestions?
