Hmmmm I am going to assume that dumping a whole lot of oil/smoke when I
hit 60mph yesterday was just a transient protest at throwing her around
a race track a few days ago.... and that the loud metallic backfiring
when idling down from speed in fourth is the same.... (who said anything
about 'timing'?).
Hey, she treated me rough so I did the same (and I am older than her).
We will see what the doctor says tomorrow.
Luck? I don't need no stinkin' LUCK! (actually I have forgotten what
LUCK is!)
