Default My Select Edition Warranty expires tomorrow

Does anyone have any superstitious rituals or anything to ward off or appease the gremlin gods?!

The car is running great! I look forward to many more years of riding around in style!

I really don't think there is anything wrong with the car. I had a weird lazy downshifting issue with the car--that seems to have been fixed by reflashing the TCM.

The only issues remaining are the A/C compressor is pretty loud when it's hot out (but I can't hear it if I have the windows or top up), and the clicking sound, which I've decided is most likely the brake pads shifting around as others had suggested.

That being said, these are both minor issues I have reviewed with a technician at the dealer and they have assured me that this is normal.

So I won't worry about it for now! I will stay positive!

Perhaps I should try washing the car with holy water?! Or maybe I'll put some holy water in the radiator?!

It's perfect, then, i wish you a lot of enjoyment.

I do nothing against superstition, i do not drive when i am nervous, or too worry, and i mostly drink at home only when i want to.

Don't jinx it!!

Mine's just over six years old and had no problems. My mechanic said the key to a good car is to keep using them frequently so all the important bits keep moving.
