[QUOTE="scratch, post: 369013, member: 1674"] Well, I killed a P500 this morning. When I took off on my EAM run, I noticed a noise in the driveline everytime I let off on the gas. The noise got louder and louder, on the way back to my Hub I drove in the right lane in case I had to pull over. But the P5 made it, I drove it straight to the shop where I noticed the gear oil dripping out of the rear end around the pinion shaft where the driveshaft bolts on. If an old car like this needs a major repair, it gets junked. The mechanic said that if it needed over $500 to fix it, then they had to ask for special permission to repair it. A rebuilt rear end is $1500, he said. I actually like to drive P5s to run EAMs. This one was getting 20 MPG when I was driving it around near empty. We have one P32 left and five other P5s on the lot. I prefer to drive one of these while the Preload finishes loading my P7. If I can't find a different Car in the morning, then I have to pull mine out of the Lineup, and its a major pain to get back in to finish loading it. So RIP, #509839, I will miss you.
