He immediately responded that he'd seen the article with that info in the Seattle P-I. He also wrote:

"DOJ dropped its criminal case against Tesoro on Friday. Announced it at 4:17pm Friday afternoon, what we in the biz call the "Friday news dump" of news you want to bury…"

My comment: Is this where I'm supposed to say, "Thanks, Obama & Holder"?

On edit: Good luck with the car. Last year I had to replace my 11 year old Saab - it was still in great shape, but for the $15 replacement switch necessary to repair a headlight to pass state inspection. Said part was not available since GM fucked over Saab and killed the company. So I feel your pain.
