Hi.  My name is John Mertz.  I live in Evanston, IL, just north of Chicago.
Just bought a 95.5 S6.  Beautiful car, and in really fine shape.  Have all
records, etc...plus it was owned by a good friend who is anal about taking
care of his cars (owns 3 S cars, now 2).  So just want to introduce myself.
I'll probably opt for digest mode after a while, but for now I'm getting
full discourse.

A couple of issues.  Was taking out some aftermarket phone stuff last night
and ran the battery down listening to the radio (probably need a new battery
- later).  Jumped it from another car, and...my sunroof was open - it came
open when I started the car - opened on its own.  When I went to close it,
it was sort of "off".  When it thought it was closed, it wasn't actually
quite closed.  So I tried to open and shut, yada yada, and no help.  Still
off.  Tried to manually shut it, but when I opened it again then shut it
using the power, same situation.  Is there a way to "reset" the roof
mechanism?  Is this particular to my car, or is this seen in others as well?

Second issue.  Sometimes the brakes pull to the left.  Not always, only
sometimes.  Have upgraded brakes (Porsche) and SS brake lines.  It doesn't
really bother me, but I wonder why it happens sometimes and not others.

That's enough bandwidth for my first entry.  Thanks in advance.

John Mertz
