hmmmm... ponders.... dont really understand any of that but i can jack it up i suppose and kick it or summit ... hehe... i must admit i'm a bit nervous about all this (so many cti horror stories) but read a lot of guides, and it seems body work failure is the main problem... only 50,000 miles too so shouldn't be too worn?
