HFS!!!
So, I'm thinking the girl just doesn't seem to have the spunk she had just a few months ago. With the resent cold weather, she should be scooting along better then ever. Could it be the DV? Turbo problems? I'm a little concerned...
For the hell of it, I removed the engine cover to have a look at the air filter (shouldn't need cleaning as it only had 15k on it), anyway...

I think I may have discovered the problem.
The top pic is the engine top cover and K&N filter.
The 2nd pic is the lower cover. Yes, that's the bastards little body in the lower left hand corner.

Messy!
Reminds me of when I was riding in a friends car and a mouse came out from the engine compartment onto the hood and ran back and forth on the hood. We tried to blow the mouse off by going faster, but it was persistant, and we finally pulled over and swatted to mouse off the hood!

 

where from, how much ... LOL
