Left the house in the GT3 at about 3:00pm; discovered the Malibu car wash was waaaaaay to busy at 3:30pm; cruised PCH to Kanan; called ScuderiaFan (AKA: The Godfather) to set up a cruise to VCR in the AM; GT3 promptly "broke."

Limped to Rusnak (Westlake) and left the car; called the wife for a ride (she was just leaving West LA); called the Senior Member and canceled Sunday's meeting about 20 minutes after setting it up. Bah Humbug!!!

My guess is stuck front caliper or wheel bearing about to blow; but at 60MPH on the freeway, windows up, RSR muffler roaring - I shouldn't hear the squeal I was hearing.

Strike 2 on this CPO car.


*sigh*

Well maybe you have the wrong Pcar. Jeffrey drove me around today in his CGT. This car is crazy fast/scary. I think you need one. ;)
