S now in the shop
82.5k miles -ish
Safety inspection - looking for suspension issues
Coolant flush/replace - easy, but messy (not for me, first time so far as I know)
Valve adjustment - I hear clicking at idle (heck I cannot hear anything above idle! -not for me - special tools are needed)
Took it to Ed Napleton off HWY 70 in St. Peters. Will post up with the outcome - results soon...
And for those who heard me before - there's an annoying buzz from the exhaust I've been hearing since blowing 3 quarts of oil out the exhaust on the last group meet (MOM08 Fall Run). Nuts.
Front-end impressions were really positive. Brian Shaw took my call - knowledgeable and polite - agreeable also to parking the car inside the garage the nite prior.

Got the car back and the knociking sound is gone 
The valve adjustment was needed. I ordered a coolant hose to replace one that is a little leaky. The exhaust sounds a little tamer for some reason - not sure why that is
