I was going to edit the previous post, but this probably deserves a separate post. On your IROC, if you can find a good mechanic, go ahead and drive 1 1/2 hours to take your car to him. I would also recommend that you get AAA Premier coverage that

M....How far are you from Worcester? The shop I went to there seemed fast, knowledgeable and reasonable. When I brought the iroc in on Saturday, by Monday afternoon, they were already tearing into my problem. They seem like a bunch of car nuts there.
