Did y'all know that with all post-1995 cars you can connect a laptop to your car's computer and, with the right software, find out what exactly is causing the 'check engine' light to come on? Plus there's a million other things you can do (my boss did this to check the RPM of his Volvo after he put a different engine in it).

At the moment, I don't have a post-'95 car so I haven't tried it myself....

bon bon is certainly lots of good

I switched over to premium gas, and the light went away.

If your car isn't supposed to need premium gas, then something is still out of whack.

Before you do, try just tightening the gas cap. If it's loose it can set off the light, too.

Yeah, I tried that yesterday, but no go.

My brother's car requires a laptop to run. He always has to tell his passengers not to step on it. @@ It's all souped up and has at least 2 independent computers. It is amusing to watch the gas/air/whatever mix display as he drives. This is also a car that after you turn off the ignition and get out of the car and walk away? It's still running. To cool the engine down properly or something. Again, @@

I am a little bit in love with my desk.

bon bon/her desk = OTP

My day has started out pretty shrifty. No hot water. Am chilly.

bon bon/her desk = OTP

Except it's really more of an OT3, what with the Apprentice and all. Kinky.

slut?

No hot water is a bad bad thing.

ION, my new cactus green Kipling purse came yesterday, AIFG. Exactly the right size, lots of cool pockets, easy to carry and cool looking. Could a chick ask for anything more? I think not.

slut?

Now that's just not nice.
