A bad rear end at 32,000 miles? I kinda doubt that, these cars are KNOWN for a variety of electrical problems, but not serious mechanical issues.

Too bad you replaced the tires so quickly, I bet it didn't whine with the old tires. Odd things happen at speed, there is one road, Georgia 85 about 20 miles from me, that "talks" to me between 50 and 65 mph. If I have the top down, I hear odd rumbles and other noises. It did it with my old tires and with my new ones, but it does NOT do it in my van.

If I have the top down, it's REALLY noticeable, but even with the top up, I hear it. They ust repaved that stretch of road last year. You cant see anything in the pavement and you don't feel anything in the steering or handling... but the first time I had someone with me, they actually thought they heard my stomach growling!!!
