I drove my Graphine home, 2200 miles, from AZ to GA.
I drove my SE home 475 miles from FL to GA.
Just two weeks ago, I drove my SE 380 miles one way for a job interview.
We hold meets at Woodward, The Dragon, Eureka Springs and Carlisle - to name just the 'big ones', each year. We have some people who drive for THREE DAYS to attend some of these events, yet you are no "gambler"?

You have been told what the issue is. DJ has offered to fix your RCM (as he has done of so many of us, I doubt HE knows how many he has fixed).
You refuse all help - you are creating your own nightmare. Your "gambler" post above makes you look ignorant, silly even.

Yet you don't see it. Personally, trying to help people like you is still fun for us, but honestly, it's a waste of time.

Sell the car, you will be happier.
