GL man. We all hope nothing major!

Absolutely. As a non-mechanic it's the least I can do to help out around here.

It sucks that this popped up, but quite frankly, I'm happy to pay it. The engine is absolutely sound. With a new rear drive shaft and guibo the drivetrain is sound. I would hope this is about it for awhile. I just bought it in July. Got a decent deal on it, and I love driving it. This will bring my total up to about what I planned to invest in it in my first two years of ownership, so hopefully year two goes a little better.
