GTV-6 quirk update



Digesti,

1- Thanks for all the replies, on- and off-digest. I wish I had time to 
answer all of you personally.
2- The driver's side power window quirk seemingly has "healed." I cannot 
replicate the glitch. Oh, sure, it's probably waiting for a rainy day, but 
there you go.
3- The noise-from-the-driver's-side-front wheel:
  a- While it takes some "warming up" to produce the noise, once the noise 
begins it sometimes goes away, and sometimes comes back. It goes all 
intermittent, if you see what I mean.
  b- There seem to be two main schools of thought on this.
    i) It's a VERRRY slightly warped rotor, but don't be surprised if it's 
the wheel bearing
    ii) It's the wheel bearing, but don't be surprised if it's a VERRRY 
slightly warped rotor
  c- I have not had any rainy conditions in which to drive the car.
  d- It does not SEEM to be getting louder
  e- It SEEMS to go away (or get obscured) by ~25-30mph (~40-48kph?)

More updates as they ensue.
