Yeah....like I said, they replaced it out of warranty for me (out by 1500 miles). I'm just hoping since the part it not even 6 months old they will hook me up again. They have always been good to me. I want to know because it will determine what I'm doing with the car. I don't want to have a 3rd oil leak fixed, I will just trade it in. I have to bring it in tomorrow for Trans / Rear Diff flush. I also need spark plugs/wires, but I know I can do that myself easily. I don't want to pay for all this if I'm just going to trade it in.

Man, Eric. You missed some good fights tonight. Frnaklin knocked out lutter and GSP DOMINATED Serra for the 2nd round knock out. Also missed some great undercard fights and some funny **** in the ring.

Hey, just thought Id say hi; I'm from the Chicago area but will be down in Shreveport for 3 months this summer for work. Unfortunately I won't have my 8 with me (company doesn't want to pay mileage), but maybe Ill be able to make it to a meet or tow, or maybe take the rental car out to a few autocrosses

I see your from Naperville. I grew up in that area as a kid...

From what I have heard its changed alot sense then... I can't remember my old address its on N. Eagle st. tho...

All I know is that all the little houses are gone and they put up multimillion dollar ones now...lol. HAHA I remember when they put a Barns and Nobbles in "Downtown" I didn't even know what starbucks was back then.


Yeah dude I wanted to be there for the fights but I got tied up in New Orleans and by the time I made it back to the Dell I didn't feel like driving out to hammond....

I'm engaging in an experiment with the 8 for this tank of gas. I'm trying my best not to go above 4K rpms. It's very difficult. But let's see if gas mileage improves since gas is now $3.37/gal and rising.

I redline it once per drive when the engine heats up. I'm trying to increase mileage. 12mpg is not making me happy at these gas prices. It's more of an "I'm not giving these greedy *** oil companies more money in addition to the tax breaks (that should be repealed)!!!"

Re-Enact the excess profits tax!!!
