Shouldn't be. What bothers me is that I was listening to a bit of a noise
that I didn't recognize for the past week. Since I couldn't figure out what
it was, I let Jon borrow the white Dak anyway, and it died on him. Really
helpful.
What *really* bothers me is that the very first time I heard that noise was
the very first time I started it in the dealer parking lot after having the
oil changed last Saturday. I was hoping that it was just because they
decided to use 5W30 oil in it instead of the 10W30 that I usually use.
Does anyone know if it would be possible for our crooked dealer to somehow
sabotage a water pump to self-destruct in one week (about 300 miles)? Right
now, I'm holding a hard-line stand against ever going back there, they seem
to piss me off more every time. I know it was almost certainly coincidence,
but I can't help wonder.

Thank goodness that there was no damage to people or machine. Was this on
the 401? I think we saw the pieces of that tire. I remember commenting
that I sure was glad that I wasn't there when it happened.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's valve float?
Were you going to post your exact times for everyone's reference? I know
you got eliminated, but hopefully you had a good day anyway. I know we had
a great time.
