Right after the 160+ run came down to a stop light thats when the engine begain to "TICK" took to work cause it sounded like a header gasket leak. Could not tell where the "TICK" noise was comming from so I drove it to the dealer. By the time I got to the dealer it started to smoke blue smoke and smelled like radiator fluid.. The tech, you going to love this one, told me that the "TICKING is do to the HIGH octane I was using" I told him "OH Come On. You have to be kidding me right. This car calls for high octane and what is the blue smoke?" Long story and FIGHT with not one but 2 dealers to try to fix car and came out with an $8K bill and a voided warranty!
