Well, there has been a constant pulling to the right. If I let go of the wheel it drifts hard. This started a couple days after I bought it. I took it back to Tyson's Porsche and they did an alignment...which didn't fix it. The has been a very loud rattle on the passenger side that is either near the windshield or the airbag door. I found several TSB's that could explain the rattle. I told Tyson's but they said TSB's expire and they are not obligated to fix them. Also, even though I just bought the car they are no longer responsible for any issues on an 8 year old car. They felt like the rattle was coming from the heat and AC vents on the dash...but that isn't where it is. The drivers side mirror vibrated at higher speeds so the image was totally distorted. It eventually fell off. And the last issue that really pissed me off was the missing bolts that hold the starter junction box(I think that's what it is). I emailed pictures to Tysons service manager but I haven't gotten any response. This was last week. I had a PPI done but I think it wasnt done very well. I'm just frustrated. It's a new to me car and I'm already dealing with service issues. I was hoping to have it for a while before this started. Am I just too **** and OCD?

Jay,

I'm quite OCD with my vehicles as well. Since you have already bought the car, schedule an appointment with Andrew down at Chapman Autowerks in Sterling, VA and have him go over the car with a fine-tooth comb. The things may be very minor fixes. But, have him go over the car for you---tell him that I sent you. He'll take care of you. Let him do that before you trade the car in frustration.
