    You all are being forgiving and I appreciate it very much. Thanks again. I'll get this figured out soon and you have gotten me up to speed ASAP.

    I'll have the mechanic doing the inspection look for signs of buring oil.

    I guess the owner's daughter had taken it off to college a while back - not a great sign of vehicle maintenece. She is working on her Masters degree so, maybe she is smart enough to take care of the car.

    I think I saw tom4bren's VX on youtube..?? If that was his yellow ( proton?) VX then, yes his tires are afraid of the wheel wells. etlsport, I about fell out of my chair giggleing after that remark.

    Anyway, I'll look out for the buring oil.. at about 50,000 how bad could it be?

    We shall see, I hope to have it my possesion by the end of the month. Unless, of course, the mechaninc says something like this baby is burning oil and it hasn't been changed in about a year.
