Hahaha. I spun out of a few stop signs trying to get used to front wheel drive. I pretty much beat it as much as I could. I ran back in today, and was pestering them to get the car back together so I could have it. I had serious withdrawl symptoms...
I found out the the driver's rear exhaust manifold is missing a bolt, and leaking. That's making a puttering noise. Maybe someone can tell me how easy that is to fix. They wanted $180 + tax. I said I'll think about it. No word on the engine thing though. I had them check the brakes as well. Almost 50K, and the brakes are still pretty good (so I was told; I'll post the numbers a bit later and have you guys tell me, because I have no idea). The brakes don't have as much play in them now, which is good... Or maybe it's that the brakes on the Malibu were pretty sucky.
