well after having the cat put on and taking
a drive to victorville, with the heat and the
mountain. she did the same thing in victorville
got off the fwy and no power. so it was not the cat.
when it's cold out i have no problem's pulling the hill
to victorville. now on the way back since i was going
down hill and the car did not have to work hard it ran
like a champ.. so my guess is it's something in the motor..

yep. i went up the cajon pass and stopped at a gas station
i could tell second gear was moving slow then when i put in third
she would just creep. even when i had the pedal to the floor.
when we left her house i had no power to pass in third gear.
now when we got a little cooler climate and i do mean alittle
like 3 degrees the car had power like it was suppose to.
and i was still driving the hell out of it.
it's hard to explain

loss of power....engine....maybe take it into the dealer and complain about "lack of power" and they could run that compression test they ran back when they sent that initial engine recall....sorry to hear the struggles.

Escrow has opened
Appraisal has been ordered
Inspection has been scheduled
Now let's hope everything comes out okay.

I have to say that this has been one of the most difficult processes I have ever been through. I swear they make it hard to prevent morons from buying property. But if all goes well, I will be in by the end of the month.


Other than that
The car is great
Steph is awesome
Job sucks
it s getting hotter
And I am hungry . . . . I am gonna go grab a taco
