Well, hi guys.
1) AIM is unofficially dead. Bane finds himself a little disquieted by the notion.
2) The car has been returned. The seatbelt problem could not be reproduced. The suspension problem could not be reproduced. The mechanic acknowledged the problem is a known issue of the model line, but can't do anything unless the noise can be produced. Car will return sometime next winter in the dead cold.
3) No apparent changes noticed from oil and ATF change. Good.
