     Good morning, all!  I'm replying to a message from Bill but since I've 
     had several inquiries I'll send this to the list too.  Thanks to 
     everyone for your HLA suggestions and other concerned messages and 
     good-luck wishes...if I had time, I'd personally respond to you all, 
     but you know how it is.  Cyber-hugs to everyone, anyway!
     
     I can't believe this is happening....
     
     The hood ding was fixed...beautifully, and they didn't have to 
     repaint.  The noise actually was HLA's, and Oak Tree replaced them 
     free of charge (they wrote it off to 'advertising' - ha ha) since 
     they'd caused me so much trouble already.  There is a bare shadow of a 
     noise now; not noticeable at all with the radio on.  I'm still waiting 
     on the alarm guy to tell me where I can get a new mounting bracket for 
     the alarm horn that got broken off.
     
     HOWEVER.
     
     Now there is no bottom-end power.  Power was fine before, even with 
     the HLA noise, but after they did the HLA replacement I could barely 
     get up the hill home last Wednesday.  This morning Wendy suffered the 
     ultimate humiliation:  I had to pull over for a TRUCK on Highway 9.  
     Not only that, but Wendy had a difficult time getting herself out of 
     the turnout and back on the road without getting run over by another 
     car.  Power is reasonably OK above 4000 rpm, but below that, forget 
     it.  No hesitating or sputtering, so I doubt it's plug wires or a 
     clogged fuel line; she just feels like she has the flu.
     
     Needless to say, she's right back at Oak Tree this morning.
