That definantly sucks but aren't you in Florida? You guys don't have any idea what cold is Good job getting back on the road. That situation usually cause me to randomly curse and flail my arm around in a punching/jabbing motion for a good 3-5 minutes. Especially knowing exactly what happened and how big of a pain in the *** it is to fix!! This is the reason I leave the undertray off..

It sounds like the old quote about DSMs can now be applied to Evos. "DSMs, making mechanics out of ordinary people since 1989." Change the year to 2003 and DSM to Evo. :-)
