First Blackstone Report
I got my first BlackStone, and it was a good prognosis. My car has an LNE bearing in it, done by the PO at a reputable shop (from what I can tell - Import Performance in Wilmington), but there was no sticker in the car, so I was one of those that was concerned. My fear was the bearing had been put in while in a stage of failure. The PO put the bearing in, then almost immediately stopped driving the car in his average way (from the prior 3 years CarFax info). In fact, in six months, he only put like 500 miles on the thing. Well, I will sleep easier tonight knowing I will hopefully not be writing any 5 figure checks anytime soon to Raby.
