Jim,

I regret not knowing about this site prior to taking my car in to be fixed because had I possessed the knowledge I've received from you and other helpful and very knowledgeable people today, I have no doubt my car's problems would have been correctly diagnosed and repaired by now. I really appreciated your in-depth responses. They've shed a whole new light on the situation and I now feel sufficiently armed to ask my mechanic intelligent questions and know when he's just shooting in the dark. Thanks again! Skip
