Lotus already caught me on the timer issue. In fact, I watched from the outside of my car as usb thumb drive with "Las Vegas" lights went out after the time elapsed.

Justed wanted to say thanks to Lotus for keeping these issues in proper perspective, as per an early post on this. Electrical problems in early cars were usually difficult to diagnosis, but the cars today are more like a desktop with wheels and an engine. Not only the wiring, but now the poor service tech has to deal with software. So the diagnosis of the problem is more difficult and a lot of the times a shot in the dark. The service people want to keep control of the customer and not look stupid so they treat us like we're dumb. Patience, perseverance and alcoholic beverages usually help.

BTW Lotus everytime I read your posts, for some reason I always think of one of my favorite TV shows, the "Big Bang Theory"!
