    Very awkward moment today with the car... + a random picture!

    Driving over my wife's grandmothers house today, going the normal way I always do...

    Hit a bumpy road that is getting redone, and once I get off the road, my car starts acting up.

    At first I thought it was a burnt valve, and I know what a burnt valve feels like because I burned many a valve in my NAWSED Teggy, but it wasn't...

    The car would idle hard as hell, shaking the shit out of me ans when I stepped on the gas, it sounded exactly like a burnt or bent valve sounds like...

    I'm like "This freaking think barely has any miles on it and was never driven over 60mph by the previous owner"

    I couldn't believe that 2 weekends in a row, my car was messing up! So I pulled oer and popped the hood.

    The engine was shaking violently vertically...

    I had no clue what the hell it was... many thoughts ran through my head...

    Then just before I was about to go insane I found the culprit!

    A plug wire had worked its way off the dizzy!

    You have no clue how happy I was!

    I had a great rest of the day, thinking about how what happened could have been a lot worse!

    So I ride another day...

      Its nice having stupid problems like that. Or easy solutions I should say. My car was idling at like 2k going to the Orlando meet, I got there, and found a vacuum line slipped off when I was messing with it. Solved that most annoying problem.

                If you were a plug wire, and you saw a fat guy that wanted to cuddle... wouldn't you pop off too?
