Good for you!

I know that's a load off your mind.
When I got mine back just before the first of the year I thought I had a new car.

I'm not gonna lie.....the car starts and runs better than ever before. It must have been such a gradual process that I never even noticed. The vroom it gets when it turns over and the pep it has when I accelerate.....WAY different.

To say I am relieved is an understatement.
