    Ummm yeah, that would also cause an issue. The two little lines are a pain in the ass. I have mine zip tied on with T&B electrical ty’s. They have metal clips in the mad tey hold really tight and don’t break or fail.

    You can buy them on Amazon in quantities less then 1,000.

    TY24MX Cable Tie 30lb 5.5" Ultraviolet Resistant Black Nylon with Stainless Steel Locking Device Bulk Pack, Military Specified (MIL-SPEC MS3367-5-0) 1000 Per Bag

    Haha. I can honestly say that I have been driving, then hear something hit my undercarriage and see a wrench in my rear view mirror. It's a bad habit i have. Wife complains that i end up buying tool sets, because i dont have complete ones.

    I lost a tool in one of my kids cars. I found it when I took it to have the tire patched, my wife was not amused.

    No one ever finds the missing 8mm socket.

    The 10mm is always what I have too many of. Especially when I dont need it at the moment

    I was about 1" if that away from being T boned in a round-a-bout today. Some lady in a giant black Kia SUV apparently didn't know what that big YIELD sign meant. I was shaking for about 30 minutes after that AND it woulda been the side I just polished yesterday.... Go figure. Careful out there folks, b*****s be crazy.

    I'm watching the rain and wind clean some of the pollen off the car.

    Pollen is heavy here, too. Everything is yellow. At least the MINI is in the garage. I'm hibernating today. It was 86 degrees yesterday, and right now, it is 38. WTF?

    I'm thinking the gods that taunt me know that I have a convertible Ferrari temporarily, which might have something to do with the weather. I was too busy to go for a drive yesterday when it was nice out. Figures.

    Finished up polishing and sealing the whole car. Got the bumpers and driver side waxed, hoping to finish up tomorrow. Then another attempt at the belt line as well.

    About to order this BavTech cable. Is it easier to use than to try to figure out the INPA and ISTA software? I've corrected everything and see what you are talking about. Other codes clear and that damn P2096 sticks, no matter what. U do appreciate the info though man.

    I finish up Teddy’s full detail today and he is on his way home in a very clean and Gyeon coated car ready for the Dragon.

    Thanks Dave...as soon as I picked my jaw up from the floor after seeing the GREAT job Dave did on Pepper, I drove about 9 hrs. home. Not one drop of rain and sunny most of the way. I came home to 2 big boxes of MINI swag and memorabilia that I found on line. It will be on display at the M/A tent at the Dragon. I have an idea, but I have to talk to Sully first....
