Hey whats up? I just got my Talon a few days ago, its a 1996 TSi AWD, 5speed. Anywho, I was driving through the Hastings parking lot and there was a part that you had to go through exiting the lot a certain way. It didnt look bad, just like some ice with a little water in some spots. I started driving through at under 5mph, i hit a pothole that i swear was never there before this winter, it made a sound like it bottomed out, made this sound about 6 more times leaving the parking lot, I tried to avoid as many is possible. I went home and started watching a movie with my girlfriend, and well, it was time for me to take her home so we went out to my Talon I started it up and my ABS light was on and the ABS system wasn't working at all. The light didnt go off the whole way to her house and back. Any ideas on what happened and how much it will be to fix? Also when I bought the car I was informed that the tie rod was a little loose, could that have something to do with it? Also, the day after I got the car I took it to Jiffy Lube because I was lazy and I wanted their opinion on the car, also because it was making a ticking noise that would get a little worse sometimes yet go away other times, I had it looked at by a mechanic at a local dealer they said it was my injectors 
. Anyways, I paid Jiffy Lube $84 to run some Gummy or something company Oil System Cleaner through it and they recomended to let them put in full synthetic oil, even with 110,000 on the Talon. After having it for a little while I noticed this, only after the synthetic was put in, when I first start the car the factory gauge reads a little above the bottom line of the gauge, then I give it some gas, only a little, and it will bring the pressure up to normal until I sit at a stopsign or stoplight for a little while. Is this normal also? And was $5600 a good price for the car? It's got ABS, power seats, leather interior, sunroof, its a TSi AWD, body is pretty much perfect, the driver window won't go down the dealer I had look at my engine and listen to it said that the window problem is a switch in the door, also the rear wiper doesn't exactly work right, other than that everything works fine. Thanks in advance, this is my first post on here, but I am the NorthWest moderator of Beretta.net.

Weekends are for playing with the car, not the 'net. Your little short-story of problems there is also too long to read
