Thanks, man, but as I emailed you I had already had a mechanic jump on it.

Before I ever got it to him it completely lost power, and then wouldn't even start. I was afraid that the timing belt had broken, but it turned out the catalytic converter was completely clogged. The mechanic replaced it with a hi-flow converter. I figure this to be an expensive month in the KIA department, but I'd rather put a little money in this one once in a while than get involved in payments for something I don't like as much anyway.

The KIA isn't as powerful as the dually, but it sure is easier to park.
