Thanks for the kind words.

I would like to do as many of my own repairs as possible, but there are 
things for which
I either don't have the tools or knowledge.  Also, because I intend to 
drive this car rather
than just use it on weekends, there will be times that I will need to 
be at work rather
than home wrenching.  For those times, I need a referral to a good 
local mechanic who
understands these fuel injected motors and takes pride in his/her work.
