Of course, as always, when I am driving Dave's car, because it doesn't like me, the check engine light comes on. (I can't see my cursor. Where is it? How do I know where I am typing? Anyway.)

So we go out to the auto shop, and have them read the error code. It's most likely the spark plugs.

So we travel around to see if anyone will do it today, and how much they want for it.
The only place we got to, it would have been at least 300 dollars.

So we did it ourselves.

We pulled the front plugs. They looked pretty worn.

After much toiling and gnashing of teeth, we got the back plugs out. I think there's something missing.

The going theory is that the service-people were too lazy to open it up and get the back plugs/wires set straight, so they just replaced the front ones. I don't even know that those could be called spark plugs, what is there to spark? Really, they're just plugs...

My cursor is set to flash when I hit Ctrl. This is because I used to have a computer game with a glitch that would make my cursor disappear.

Oh! Well it never flashes when I'm using in conjunction with something else, so I guess I'm lucky.

Also, I don't get what you're asking about the spark plugs. Nothing to spark?

Doesn't the spark plug spark the fuel in the engine?

Oh. Now I see.

Ugh, car mechanics. Doncha love that insecure feeling of never knowing whether what they're charging you is legit, or whether all of the services they're providing are just needless junks to add an extra 0 onto your tab??
