What happened to the 'tour???!!



OK here is the short of it all. It started to leak oil from the pan and I did not catch it until it was to late. A rod went out and that was the end of her. Its down at the shop right now, going to get it rebuilt, with a 7yr/70k warranty. It should be ready for the trip to Canada if we are going on the 18th. For every thing said and done it�s going to cost 2,350. Not to bad for a car they guaranty will go 70k. I would do all the work myself but I need the car as soon as I can get it. Right now I am bumming rides to work and it�s starting to get old. I will try to keep you guys in the loop of what�s going on but as of now that�s all I know. OH, FYI I asked the shop how this might have happened and they asked if I had pushed the car hard just before it died, it died one week after the hw-20 run, I said um no.
Peace

You never went over the speed limit, how could you have "pushed it hard"?

The temperature issue with your leaky water pump probably had more of an effect.
