Could be worse. Mine is so bad, it's all throughout the rev range. Try driving 200miles with that drone.

That's the sound Lookin4SVX. Well documented for others who may have the problem.

Tasty!

It took almost a month to get just this one and the others are currently being shipped but I didn't mind the wait.

I pulled my taillights and resealed them all today

It's so nice to not see them poking out randomly anymore

Didn't start this morning due to a dead battery; had to drive the mother's Hyundai to school

Had it towed to the local garage, who replaced the alternator and fixed an electrical short in the line somewhere that was caused by the bad alternator. Back running smoothly now!

Check your crank pulley to be sure it's not slipping/seperating

Later today will be a wash and wax plus a vacuum but for this morning:
Polished Headlights a little with Meguirs Plastic Polish

Put on Summer Wheels - Decided to go with the gold color one more season before I repaint them.
