Tiff: Just in case you didn't know, when they say a mid-pipe will give you a CEL. That means Check Engine Light. An error code will be put in the car's computer and turn that light on.

There was a time when Lounge & Regional Forum post counted. That is why some have a very high post count. Half of mine don't add to my numbers.

J: I don't know. When I first got here I stayed in the Tech areas. I didn't venture into the Lounge and it was pretty much a year before I posted in my regional forum.

On an other topic, my morning commute took a little bit longer this morning. There were 3 state police along the route. Two of them provided me with an escort for about 4 miles.

One of the companies, I used to work for wouldn't pay us any overtime until after 45 hrs. There was a class action lawsuit over that and I ended up with a check of over $1000.

Must have been the weekend of the Daytona 24. I was down there. I must have brought it with me.

That should be a easy one to get dismissed. The only thing is you have to take a day off to go to court.

The Dealership warranty on body repairs isn't any different than a Body Shop. They all get their parts from the same places too.

The only way I can see it happening is if the dealership it's self rents cars. Then you may have a chance.

Sure every body shop says they can match any paint, but unless you know their work directly, I'd prefer a shop that has the actual factory colors on hand.
Paint fades over time. That makes paint matching a problem. If a dealer used the original color paint, it wouldn't match.

On Sunday, I replaced the neutral switch on the transmission. It takes a 27mm wrench to do it. I initially bought a combination wrench for the job, but it turned out that there wasn't enough room to use it between the trans and the tunnel. I got the old one out by cliping the wires off and using a newly purchased socket. The problem was getting the new one installed with the wires intact. I used a dremmel and cut a slot in the new socket to give the wires a place to go. It worked fantastic. No more CEL.

I had all 4 of mine pulled at once. Had them knock me out totally. I seem to remember starting to come out sometime during the procedure. I never had any meds. I did have some swelling for a day or two.
My son had 5 wisdom teeth.
