    That's what you get for talking about your wife's mother.

    They say they are going to honor the warranty so it looks like all I'm out is a night in the motel and the miles I should have gotten. They said there is a new part number for the radiator, I wonder if that means they figured out there is a problem and redesigned the part. I think both radiators leaked in roughly the same spot at the top.

    Great thread, Eric. There is plenty of information here that is of value to those who are considering a lease.

    Keep up the good work. The money gets better and better over time.
