I'm not sure what the exact diagnosis is...it kept dying on me so I took it to my mechanic. It's been there since September! Ugh. How do I find out what motor? Sorry...cars aren't my area of expertise at all.

I'VE DONE ALL OF THE LEG WORK FOR YOU OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS...DO YOU WANT US TO DRIVE YOU DOWN TO THE DEALER TOO?

I RECKON THE "INCIDENT" WITH THE CELL PHONE AND THE TERRIBLE DAMAGE YOU DID TO THE TRACER BRINGS IT TO YOUR ATTENTION HOW FRAGILE YOUR LITTLE CAR IS......WHY DON'T YOU WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE?
