Now this crap TB had a broken exhaust manifold and mounting bolt broken off in the head. I had been smelling a ton of exhaust and hearing a louder exhaust leak noise. I thought it may just be a gasket,(I already replaced the donut gasket connecting the manifold to the exhuast pipe) so I took it in. Well the extended warranty came out to look at it once the dealer said it may take up to 20 hours to get it fixed. Well they said that the bolt broke because of rust not because of the mainfold so they were NOT going to cover it. (the car is 2.5 years old) They covered 2.4 hours of labor and a new manifold. Meanwhile the mechanic tried to get the broken bolt out and broke the thread tap off in there too while trying to extract the bolt. It took them from Monday until Friday afternoon late to fix it. They have known of my various trips to dealers for repairs and am not sure how they worked it out but there was no charge to me! :p but then my radio didn't work and one of my 80.00 PIAA headlights was burned out. :duh: Oh well it could have been worse. That dealer here in Colorado charges 98.00 per hour. What the heck else is going to fall apart on this hunk of xxxt!

We had a galloper 2 that kept on breaking down, but it was so sweet in the desert. We eventually sold:( it and got a TB:)

Man Im really sorry your TB keeps breaking down. I feel the same way when something happens and you just want to get rid of it but cant because you like it sooo much.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. :(sure blame it on firefox. this reminds me when I worked as internet tech support in highschool, people would call and say "Netscape keeps putting porn sites in the address pulldown!" .. sure it does... LOL

:laugh: When I worked at the computer tech bench at retail store I used to hear things like that all the time! Or, my other personal favorite was, "My brother-in-law/cousin/friend was over the other day, and he, uh, went to certain...you know...websites, and I now need to clear the address pulldown!"
I once had a woman come in who found naughty pics on the C: drive. But she swore up and down that someone must've hacked her computer and/or broken in to her house and put them there. She just would not believe that any of her teenage sons would do that!

Yeah but it didn't like Maine either. I just moved back to CO. 6 months ago from Maine and it broke down there too.
