My parents live in Hilton Head, maybe I should tow it down and take a vacation. I think the tow bill might get a bit out of hand but its worth the thought. I'm glad there are happy endings for some people. My only hope is that I babied the car throughout my ownership and they will see how well cared for the car is. It's a shame that I am afraid to drive her the way she was intended because she sure wasn't built that way. Just keep the revs below 4500 and never push the accellerator past 65% to be in the safe side. Like I said "what a shame"
