I'll snap his neck.
I had a Ford Focus that was a bit stinky from Enterprise when I took my 8 in to get the exhaust, brakes, and an oil change done. Not bad for an economy car handling and acceleration wise, but I was glad to get my 8 back.

Tornado Warning!
Funnel clouds were sighted in a "rotational" movement at I-88 just north of Aurora about 2 minutes ago. The storm is moving in a northeast direction up through Geneva to Carol Stream and beyond.
Warning in effect until 5:30 pm, Watch in effect until 11pm
The news hasn't hit weather.com yet, so I thought I'd give you all a heads-up if you work/live in the path.

I stopped into my dealer (Wilkins Mazda) today to get a new cabin air filter. While there I asked about the recall. I'm now scheduled to take my car in tomorrow morning. The service writer said that we shouldn't expect to get a recall letter because it is a volentary recall. I say call your dealer and schedule an appointment.

Wow, I called Roto Mazda yesterday to try to get some info from them and possibly schedule the recall and the service guy said I should just wait until I get the letter. I love different dealerships.

OK, Recall has been completed. I didn't need an engine or catalytic converter. Those have been replaced enough already. Just a flash and leading spark plugs. I have only drove 4 mi. at a slow speed. Not enough miles or speed to know how the engine reacts yet. The exhaust tone seemed different.
The dealer's car porter had a smile after driving it.
