Who would think that a voluntary recall performed by professionals would possibly destroy the vehicle's engine, and they'd charge the owner for it! Never again will I take a voluntary recall unless it comes with written agreement for inpatient psychiatric therapy and full buy-back guarantee of the vehicle should something go unexpectedly.

Ok, I'm sorry. I'm not mad at YOU, Grady, I'm mad at my hobby and at myself. </tears>
I understand, It has been years since I had a technician at a dealership I trusted. In fact it was back in in 2003 and it was a Saturn dealership. I had an Orange SC2. His name was Cam and I had a strange issue and he worked on my car for days to get it fixed. Was always honest with me and did a lot of extra work I know he did not get paid for to make it right. “Professionals”? Yes. However in all industries, Technicians, Doctors, etc you have the top 10 percent that are good. The next 80 just do the job. The bottom 10 you can not trust. So without a lot of research you have a 10 percent chance of gettin exceptional work.

And yes once you take a hit from the track pipe you are forever screwed!
