thats good stuff. my car is daily driven and I take 300 mile roundtrips to and from my parent's house on a regular basis with no problems. Its still cool to see other CA owners having similarly reliable motors

I drove mine all over the place when I had it in the motor. I had complete faith it it. I'da taken a 2K mile trip it in it without even thinking about it. It IS a great motor.
