Maybe you could see about trading up to an Orion one if they can't fix the problem.

You're taking it to Prestige, right? I'll be there tomorrow morning myself. Gotta get that oil leak taken care of.

I just ordered my winter rim/tire pkg from Eurotire on Rte. 46 in Fairfield. I might be meeting someone there next Sat. who wants to drive a manny, and can't find a decent one to try. Since I'm such a nice guy, I said that he could use mine if he doesn't kill it. If you're around then, I'd like to see how obsidian looks on the ccoupe.

Good luck with the fix; don't get bummed - it happens to the best of us.

Dave, the package will run me $1018 including tax. It's a good deal more than Young's steel wheel package from the Tirerack was, but my car won't look like crap until the spring like his will.

When will you doubters understand the power of orion blue?
