Update. The only thing they found wrong was that the battery is almost dead. It's the original.

Glad to hear it wasn't anything mechanical. Aside from the gut wrenching feeling, you made out pretty well on this!

Yes I am very relieved. That's probably why I gave then the nod on the battery replacement. I was expecting heart failure or roof jumping. Also have established a relationship with a shop who understands hysterical car owners like me.

Yeah, I can kinda catch the vibe that you're pretty high strung. If they treat you well, and you trust them - don't burn that bridge

They were actually great. And the juice from the battery was low so it was caught early. They showed me some rubber bushing that are starting to crack and said they could wait for awhile. So all in all a good day for me. Thanks all you folks for tolerating me!!

How slim were the odds for the powerball and how many people bought tickets? Human nature to blow the chances XYZ happening to you out of proportion (or not happening)

Well, so whats the answer to the bucking? Bad gas?

Nothing showed up at the dealer... but that doesn't mean there isn't a problem.. only they didn't find anything broken.

Actually, we did not. That's how these rumors start. We had someone who has a problem with his car and no diagnosis yet.
