What is the turn around time between sending the sample and getting the results?
Seems to me that unless you stopped driving the car after taking each sample you are still at risk. Since we have seen failures in a range for 500 miles to 5,000 miles that would be a shit load of tests with no use of the car for longer periods than it was driven before you ever got a verdict one way or another. It would make a great lawn ornament in between tests though.
