Your telling me. I just had my wife car serviced and ceramic coated (3k) and she doesn't drive anymore. Now it's parked with it's cover on it. She has dementia so I don't let her drive. Getting old is b----ch.
Well it was an eventful morning! My wife left at 6AM to drive to Nashville to do a Mud Run with my oldest daughter who lives there. I got a call about 20min later she was very upset. Getting on the interstate her Mini started running ruff. She pulled over and called and said the CE light was on. I told her it was in limp mode to go to the next exit and I would meet her there. I got there and gave her my truck and limped her Mini home. Just her luck a coil pack went out, bad timing. Anyway I just replaced all 4 coils and plugs and it is running like a top agin. Her R57 has 98k on it but looks and runs like new inside and out and drives like new.
The up side is I drove the Helmet to get the parts. I had to go to the main NAPA store. I have been looking for 20 gauge wires to pin the ECU in the Exige today but could not find any. I had checked NAPA's web sight and they did not show any. Well while waiting on my parts to come down I asked and it turned out they had several colors. Great! Now her car is fixed and maybe I can at least get the Lotus ready to start.
Side note, on the way home at a red light across the intersection I saw a pepper white coupe! I almost never see one here. I gave him a wave(remember the mini wave?) and got a wave back.
