box is in today - leading theory (at least when I dropped it off) was an out of balance wheel - hoping that Occam's razor applies here as i don't want it to be something major! Vibration or shaking through-out car is totally speed related - notice at about 65 - obvious above 70 and you want to pull the car over, get out and
above 80!
on a side note - picked up a nice C class sport as my loaner - this could make a new car for my wife (she needs to learn how to take care of the car she has, first
). Even though there are a ton of these on the roads here in soCal, i really like it better than the 3 series bmw.
turns out, though, that although the loaner car is free the first day, I get charged starting the 2nd day - something like $37/day. i really don't think i should have to pay for a car (that's what i did when i bought the porsche!) to drive when my car is in the shop for warrantable service. i'm in the wrong business - maybe doc's should be able to just bill people for walking by the hospital
