At least the mystery is solved, let him get it fixed up good for you so you can get behind the wheel again. Thanks for following up on your original post - we like to hear what the outcomes are for problems.

I used to like to watch Kevin (and crew) rule the Garden when I was in Boston - not sure I like him as much as a coach. I guess as long as Sprewell can feed his kids, all is good?

Hopefully with this repair out of the way, you will get many miles of trouble free driving out of the car.
