Message It happens to all of us at some point.

Know what’s cool? A beautiful sunny day, T-tops off, music cranked for the drive home from work.

Know what’s not cool? Waiting at a red light and feeling the Z stumble and then die. During rush hour. With a large line of impatient drivers behind you. And refusing to start.

Know what’s cool? Keeping a flathead bit in your glove compartment so you can check your ECU codes in just such a case.

Know what’s cool? Knowing that when the ECU flashes 21, that it’s the PTU without having to look it up.

Know what’s cool? A friend that’s willing to leave in the middle of dinner with his family to help push you out of the intersection.

Know what’s not cool? People that think they know cars and offer to assist you in getting it going again.
   ~16 year old kid that weighs 70 pounds soaking wet: Hey man, want me to push you off the road?
   
   Me: uhh, no thanks. Someone’s on their way

   ~16 year old kid that weighs 70 pounds soaking wet: You got any WD-40?

   Me (curious now): Umm no, why?

   ~16 year old kid that weighs 70 pounds soaking wet: Well man, sometimes when you spray a bit on the flywheel, it will get it going again

   Me (sorry I asked): Umm, no that won’t help. The car isn’t getting any spark.

   ~16 year old kid that weighs 70 pounds soaking wet: Well some WD-40 in the distributor may help “free it up”.

   Me: Don’t worry – I know what the problem is, I’m good.

   ~16 year old kid that weighs 70 pounds soaking wet: Ok man.. I was just standing at the bus stop and worried about seeing a sweet car like this get hit or something.

   Me: No worries. Bye.

Know what’s cool? A tow truck driver that treats your car as if it were his own when getting it on the flatbed.
