sry to hear about the problem todd, while expensive, it could've been a lot more expensive i think. hopefully you get it back asap and so you can continue to enjoy driving it

 

So $736 later car is ok. I tried to file the claim but to no avail. They would only consider it if i've been going to the dealers for maintenance, and # of owners, blah blah. It is what it is...that's what i get for not extending the warranty. Lesson learned
