Hey - thanks for the response...I'm begining to really like it here.

When I pulled over - I immediately called the owner of the business I bought it from...he's local, does a lot of Vipers and Bentleys and that..

He just sort of "took over"....sent a flatbed ($170). Water pump ($695) amazing amount of damage (gratis).

A local indy with a stellar reputation did the diagnosis the day after the dealer gave the car back.

Diagnostic check and waterpump install fix ($162)

2 front control arms
1 rear control arm
1 front right CV boot
1 rear sumitomo tire (yes all match)
1 clutch spring
1 MAF
1 alignment
1 oil change
---------------------
$2, 856.23

1 new battery ($140)

Now....it still throws codes (at idle if you try to drive before its warm) and when braking (coming off the interstate)

It still pulls to the right when braking. It still pulls to the right when driving (at 50 mph if you let go of the wheel, you'll be in the next lane within 70 meters.)

I'm REALLY flustered. The Indy shop has the car again - and the owner had the nerve to lecture me for making
Suggestions relating to my searches here.

There seems to be some sort of ego issue that's involved. I'm thinking its reluctance to admit they mis-diagnosed it initially. I'm not looking to speak poorly, but I have $1228 in LABOR from them and $500 for a MAF that I believe still works.

After $3000 I'm not much farther along than I was when I got there. Its basically the same - but not as bad.

I'm thinking from now on I will do much of it myself and use the local Porsche dealership for those things I can't handle....at least there will be more accountability.

I still have no audibles, no gauge lights, I can start it without pushing the clutch in now, pulls when accelerating (just isn't "tight" like it was...all told I have just over $4000 in repairs on a car that was PERFECT, and then needed a water pump.

This is absolute MADNESS. Its almost time for an attorney...

I just want to drive my car.
