I have been following.   ;-)

I always drive fairly close to pins and needles.  (I call it a pilot's attention
level.)  That's why they last so long.  I did have a sort of a feeling that
something else was going to happen....I just didn't figure it would be from as
familiar a source as it was.  Yes, I guess you could say he tried to warn me. 
That's why he got fixed when he was totaled....he earned it (again).

The wagon likes me an awful lot, too.  It's had the chance to kill me twice, a
couple of years ago, and waited until I was safely going 5 mph or less both times
for the right inner tie rod to separate.  It's doing just fine now, the factory
tranny rebuild is coming up on 100k miles, with no burps or farts, and the engine,
with its freshened heads, is just purring....getting awesome mpg while still the
fastest car on the road.  And it's holding in its coolant now, finally.

And it's a/c is by far the coolest I have experienced, since the huge Mark IV in the
back of our '56 Buick Roadmaster.  It was rebuilt 4 years or so by that same Hayward
shop I take them all to, but it is WAY cooler than the rest...still R12.
