I wish I could post a report, but I got a call on Tuesday morning saying that there was a fault light on, so they needed to check that out. Thankfully, I got a call today (Wed) and the car is finished. All that needs to be done now is the detailing. I am picking the car up around 5 pm today. On Friday, I am taking about a 250 mile trip in the 535, so I sincerely hope that everything will be fine. I will let everyone know how it drives and feels probably early next week. I am going to miss this Chevy Impala!!!

GOT IT BACK !!!! Looks perfect and my first drive (about 25 miles) seems perfect as well. I am going on about a 400 mile round trip this weekend, so that will be the true test. I truly forgot how amazing these cars really are. WOW !!!
