The voltage coming out of a plug wire does feel nice....

That is all

a few tuners well, know what it feels like coming from the primary coil.
by pointing at my dizzy, while the engine's running, and eventually touch it.

hahahahah!!...ent....
went by the a/c guy recently...and while toping up he put his hand in the area there while the car was started...the expressions after he get it eh!!..lol

same ting happened with me...a few days after I changed the plug wires I watchin it and I say wait nah that lookin kinda slack...so while d engine running I attempted the push the wire tighter into the coil pack....who tell me do that...wagonrunner it does really feel nice, my hand jump up in d air like it was carnival and give d bonnet one good hard lash.....I never touchin them wires again while d engine running....

[biggreen]

ok here is mine, pulling out of a parking lot, see 2 ladies, decide i gonna rip some tires, launch, car was supp 2 go right, it went straight hit a hole, and cut off.... well not 2 mention, the ladies got a laugh, i had no idea why the car cut off... the main coil wire came out...

next time driving too fast, road wet, see 2 cars stop on my side of the road facing opposite directions, try to stop the Gss sensor kick in and car cut off, so now i sliding, slide between the 2 cars kick start and gone again... that was not good, no power steering or brakes....

Was checking out two sweet girls walking along sidewalk outside Valpark food court....thought the car in front was moving, and then rammed straight into the back of his car resulting in a loud BANG.

Everybody turn around to watch including the two girls who turned out to be 'butter faces'.

[geodude]

2 months ago, get up late looking for the keys allove, can´t find it,
wake up my mother and now we turning over the house looking for the car keys, had a spare but the alarm remote on the spare not working, finally give up, sit down to watch some tv and decide to heat up some food,
apparantly my nephew (3 years) found the key and microwaved the key, so the remote got fried, i just watch watch the thing and laugh like 10 mins straight, eventually called a friend and we fiddle with both remotes untill we get the car to disarm. Talk bout pressure and then i had i to buy 2 remotes again.

If I wasn't running late and hustling/fumbling with my hands full I might have been able to avoid that

[Ted_v2]

recently i jumped into my buddy car and tried to start it

couldnt start for noting so i called him, he asked if it was into park i was like duhhh ofc

checked lights ect turned out to be the car wasnt into park but between reverse and park

[Les Bain]

Current car is the first "modern" car I ever owned. 2 years ago, pull into gas station, full up. Time to go, turn key. Dash lights come on. Bump starter, lights go off, engine doesn't turn. 5 tries later, nothing. Wife asks "you disarm the alarm/immobilizer?" (previous cars had none of that)

Car before that (91 Corolla): hop in, try to bump the starter. Nothing. Panic. Pull bonnet, call pops. "Is the car in park?" "Nah, it in neutral." "Doh ever park your car in neutral. Put it in park and try it again." Success.

The car before that (KE30): heading home after class, going round the Savannah. When I made the curve by where the traffic heads into Maraval or toward the zoo, the accelerator pedal went limp. Engine still running, but no engine response. I used the coast momentum to pull over to the left and stop in front the botanical gardens' gate. Switched off, called pops. He said doh worry, I coming.
Twenty minutes later the police showed up cause my mother called them panicking and asked them, to make sure I was alright.
A while later, pops arrived from Arima with a spare accelerator cable, only to discover the cable was intact, although it came off from the carburettor thing. "If you used to come and get your hand dirty in the garage when you were small instead of watch TV all the time you coulda fix that yourself." He put on the new accelerator cable anyway, then tailed me as close to where I was renting in St. Augustine, then went back Arima.

many years ago, taking a drop home with some fellas from work, them liming in marabella. they sent me to bring the car while they handled a last rongs. i gone in the car, which was an original box lancer. for the life of me, i could not get that into reverse gear...
i probably spent more than 10mins trying to get reverse gear. that gearbox operates in all three planes, not the normal two with normal gearboxes.

[Hook]

A morning I pull d bonnet to check coolant level, oil etc.
Reach back inside to get a rag and watch d time. Forget d rag, grab my bag and fly outta d house.

Heading up the h/way and wondering WTF that noise is, but meaintakin' it on, I jus crank up d music and kept going, only to reach to work and as I open the gate and walking back to the car, I realize my bonnet open. *facepalm*

[sMASH]

hoss, i so lazy ah time i say that i juss goin down the road so no need to lock it, so i juss hook it. as i hit about 40kmph or so on the sando by pass around where the treacherous pot hole is now, the thing juss fly back. it bent and straightened out the arms, so i had to bend them back so that it would meet the lock.
come to think of it, i did that with the cressida too. but this happened as i mashed out, goin up a hill driving into a breeze... this time the windscreen lower third was smashed, in addition to the lock not lining up with the bonnet.
