Any ideas on what the damn rattling or knocking is at idle??? It only...

    Nothing was really wrong with the car, I just wanted to give her a little tuneup while I was home. The apartment complex I live in now doesn't let you work on your car, so I was at my parents home and decided to tune her up as preventative not to fix something.

    ESP Warranty

    Hey, My car is an '02 and they just sent me the ESP plans. My question is: Is $3000 for the premium warranty for 7 years/10,000 mile warranty worth it, if I will be at te 100,000 mile marker in like 3 years? And it also has a $100 deductible. So, my opinion is that its not worth it b/c i...
