IML: Is it bad...

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

that when I leave my car with my mechanic I have to leave written 
instructions for him to operate the car?  I'm used to avoiding valet parking 
and giving my girl a long list of things to do if she borrows the car, but 
my car is going in, just for an inspection mind you, and I have to leave 
written instructions.  Once the car is warm, if you shut it down something 
(fuel or electric) heat soaks and it can't be re-started for 2 hours or so.  
It has to be warmed up in neutral because the transmission suffers from 
"morning sickness."

If a trained mechanic, the first I've trusted with my cars in years, can't 
figure out my car on his own it's gone a little past "having character" and 
is just plain messed up.
