It sat for two weeks (in the rain :-( no less). Since then, at least half a dozen things have gone wrong. Wouldn't start for three days. Then the fuel pump died. Then the A/C spewed it's ozone-destorying charge into the clean NH air. Then the fix for my fresh/recirc flap broke. Then the seat memory switch died. I think it's getting even for being "put out to pasture". -- Andrew L.
