TC,
Thanks for the kind words! Certainly nobody can accuse me of having a trailer queen since it already has 1050 miles on the odo and I've driven it through several rain showers.
I drove it down to Bill's on Friday and he knew something wasn't right from the moment I pulled up. The first words out of his mouth were, "What's wrong with that engine?" And he wasn't smiling.
After a quick check-up it was determined that one of the cam lobes had wiped itself out. This stuff happens. It's rare, but it happens. The car had only been hitting on 7 cylinders most of the week (which makes me feel really sorry for that guy in the red Toyota Supra).
Needless to say, Bill and Susan, being the fine individuals that they are, started taking care of the situation immediately (under warranty)! I'll be back out there tomorrow or Wednesday to pick it up and may (again) be in town for a few days. Unfortunately, I'll have to come back out to SC on Friday at the latest, so I'll miss the weekend gathering.
And yea, it is REALLY loud.
Keith
