    There are a couple of possibles they are checking out. My SA is a really great person and wants a certain tech to work on the problem, as he has some knowledge of my car, so that is why he put me in loaner. With Thanksgiving here, I doubt I'll hear anything before Monday, so I will have to force myself to play with Coupe "S" until then.

    I will have to say that I am starting to get use to the limited visablity and the roof line is starting to grow on me. :lol::lol:

    OK,everything checked out fine in the electrical system. They decided to flash the ECU with all the current updates as it had been four years since it was last done. I think this might have helped, but what do I know.

    I asked why the flash was not done regularly and they told me that people thought they were trying to rip them off since it costs $200.00. So, they only do it if the car has a problem related to what the flash might fix.That seemed like an honest answer.

    Seeing that the flash adds the current codes for timing, valves, fuel economy etc, I am thinking that I might have it done every two years.

    I enjoyed the Coupe BUT it is nice to have Foggie back. :Thumbsup:

    Glad you have your little yellow wagon back. :Thumbsup: It is always fun driving a different car, but always nice to be back in the car you love.

    Yeah well the "flash" I was going to post would not have been M/A site rated or very attractive. :devil:

    Just think of being flashed and your memory being scared for life. :lol:

    Glad you got Froggie back.

    Thanks Dave:

    1) For not posting your "flash" picture and getting Nathan all upset.

    2) For the kind words about Foggie.



    BTW: I would have liked to seen that picture. :lol::lol:
