    Thanks to all of you for the advice and calming my dread that something serious happened.

    Like me, my VX can be quite dramatic but only at rare times. Pouring gas from underneath ny VX reminded me of my baby 74 Karmann Ghia springing a fuel leak that caught fire. A quick thinking good samaritan brought out his extinguisher before it did major damage.

    The Beloved dealer mechanic found a deteriorating clamp on the fuel line. Replaced and all is well.

    They didnt even charge me...

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    Good news, Anita.

    By the way, is it still Mike there at the shop?

    Yep.. Mike is still there. The service rep (Joann)that helps me is there as well.

    I sometimes wish I could steal him away from his work to do a So. Cal VX clinic and discuss the mechanical issues/ maintenance we deal with regularly. He is a fount of knowledge IMHO.

    Awesome, Anita! Glad to hear it is all better.

    And this is a good reminder to us all that our VXes are no spring chickens anymore. Crawl under there and look at things folks!
