Thanks -- yes, GPI is on that -- Ryan and I spoke (while I was on the side of the road) when we diagnosed the problem -- TS is closed today so it won't be taken care of 'till Monday. I agree that I must have received a bad one -- but still sucks. The electric water pump though would have prevented the 'over-heated' situation -- still thinking about that one...
as they say -- 'pay to play'...
Part of the deal -- still -- the car 'looks' beautiful sitting. The tow operator told me he pulled off to the side just to take pictures of it on the flatbed...
