It would not be MOTD if something did not happen with my car. So this years adventure with Gnat The battery is dead. So, how did we get to this point and how will it be fixed. Last week I had all the fluids changed. Picked the car up and all was fine. Dropped the car off with the detailer, all was fine. When I picked up the car he said to me that a fan was running after he shut off the car. He disconnected the battery and plugged it right back in. No fan. That was the first oddity. I drove it home, then later ran some errands. No issues. I figured it was a fluke. On the drive down here all was fine with the fan, didn't think anything of it. But now that I think back the heat was not great at times. I went to go start the car today. Hmmmm key is not working to unlock doors remotely. Use the key like a key and unlock door. Try to start car. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Ponder the situation for a bit and start to think maybe coolant wan't fully bled. Since I can't text being I'm on AT&T and there is no service downloaded and installed a free app that lets me text via the web. Text Chad. Asking about my situation. He says that if not bled fully it can cause the fan to run and run. To be safe he is also going to bring a new battery. May this be my only issue during MOTD. I usually only have one every year.
Hoping for an easy fix, Nathan. Keep us posted. I'm in Winston-Salem right for a few days, I was driving on an on-ramp to get on the highway and the rear end of the taxi in front of me gave out and he smashed into the guard rail. So ditto on what Chuck said...

My 2013 MOTD Adventure On Hellbender a slab fell and well the pictures say it best. You can see where it cleaved off
My 2013 MOTD Adventure Gnat up and running again too. Jump started and run it around a bit. So far all is good.

I am going to take a nap first since I left the burbs of Philly last night at 9:30 PM and drove all night and got here around 8 AM. Long night on 81 South a.k.a. The 90 mph car wash. FYI the M/A banner is on my cabin, with the RMW banner so stop by and say hi if you are in the area. All are welcome, even 2nd gens.:devil::lol:
