Thanks for bringing a smile to my face :) If memory serves me correctly, the Delorean was never painted!! It had a buffed, polished bare metal horrible finish. I think, but am definitely not sure, but I think it was aluminium (aloooneenum??? :) :) ) Actually, it's stainless steel: http://pndc.org/bloomberg.htm

Exactly what they told me.

Next time you should be expecting something to fail about once every 5 weeks.

I end up towed the car in anyways on Saturaday even though the dealer told me they can't take it. I figure I don't want to take the Monday off to deal with car trouble.

To my surprise, they took it in and found a loaner ('05 C230SS, with dirty interior, typical Enterprise rental) for me. I guess it's because when they ask me if I need a ride back home, I answered "of course, my car was towed in

. Don't you have a spare loaner?

" But I was told they won't get to my car 'til Monday.

Yesterday SA called told me the valve body has failed so the car went into limp home mode. Everything will be fixed today including a transmission service campaign and service C. Not too bad after all.
