Update on my problem(s)--

Brake problem is looking more like the calipers are causing it. Starting to pull a bit left now, so it's definitely not ABS--according to my mechanic. FYI, he drove the car home last night and the problem got his attention. He drives his own race car and said he'd never experienced anything quite like that. (I believe he thought I was on crack until he experienced it first hand. ha!)

Temperature gauge--found the hose(s), but haven't had time to see if one is clogged. Mentioned that to my mechanic too, and he said, "Oh, we know about that and bled all the air after changing the coolant." I'll check it to see if there is a clog or air in the system this weekend.

Thanks again for the suggestions!
