Another dead engine

I don't know the cause yet, but my engine died last week after a bit over 25K miles of routine, occasionally sporty driving. The only warning was a loud ticking sound about 2 miles before it shut...

My engine quit last week with no more warning than a loud ticking sound in the last mile or so of a 10-mile drive in town. The engine itself has only 25K miles on it - a remanufactured engine from...

My ignition cylinder is acting up - key hard to insert, doesn't want to spring back from the Start position, and doesn't re-set itself when I remove the key so the car thinks the key is still in...

Who's paying

NOT ME! It will either be the insurance company for the party who caused the accident (highly unlikely) or the body shop to whom the Porsche dealer subcontracted the collision work. Since the body...
