Jason,

It wasn't all that bad.  Armed with the things I learned from the 
rocco mailing list I was able to get things going pretty quickly.  
The fuel pump relay only took a total of 2 hours from the time we 
broke down to get back on the road.  That included my initial 
troubleshooting, calling the tow truck, geting towed and finding the 
donor car....not too bad really.

The timing belt tensioner we got lucky too, it really didn't slow us 
down as we were pulling off to get some rest, it just cost me a few 
hours sleep.  See, it did bother me a bit :)

Our cars are finicky little buggers, and do require some patience.  
They're not the most reliable cars on the road, but are usually 
repaired fairly easily...... just get AAA and keep reading this email 
list :)
