Thanks (as always), Chris. Heh... "TSB" - haven't seen that acronym in a while, haven't had a warranty in years! It indicates 2003MY only and mine is 2004, so I hope they changed the assembly process before they made mine. I don't even know the "born-on" date of my car...

I'm such an idiot: "Hmm... I think I'll buy a brand new car right before I'm going out of town for nearly a month and then not drive it all winter, so it can just sit there while I pay through the nose for it." I think I managed to get all of 115 miles on the clock so far (40 of it being the drive home from the dealer)
