Tranny #2 is dead
I was pulling out of the building's garage and noticed that the car just didn't feel right. It felt like I was starting in 2nd gear- and the engine lugged at idle. I take the onramp onto the 408 eastbound and the car sticks in 2nd gear. After several seconds - hoping the car will upshift the lights on the dash come alive. D5 is blinking, Check Engine, VSA, and the "!" light.
I immediately got off and took the sidestreets tothe dealer. People were looking at me funny because I'm doing 40-45 mph in 2nd gear!
Luckily the dealership was still open and they gave me a rental. I'm now in a Chevy Trailblazer with a 4.6 L V-6 engine. That thing can't get out of its own way! I feel like I'm driving a building! It's kinda cool, through - very different.

BTW - no ETA on replacement date yet. I'll get that tomorrow - they put 3 days on my rental car, and the rental car guy said they were doing A LOT of them and they had them in stock. We'll see...

It's always cool to drive a vehicle that's so different for a while. I know getting back to the Type S will be different as well.
It's a nice change of pace.
