Look at the good side though, the engine's computer kept the engine from self destruction, and shut itself down. Unlike when my mom drove our '78 GMC down the freeway in 4lo.

Makes me wish for the good ol days.....Too bad I don't have my first car, 1972 Olds 442, anymore. That was a real car....no idiot lights, no computers, just solid Detroit iron powered by a badass 396.

My first car was a 65 Dodge Dart (with the convertible kit). I could lift the hood and point out everything and what it was there for. You could see down to the ground too.

Dealership just called me back and said the only thing wrong was the transmission sensor. It went bad and when it did it caused the engine to rev until the govenor shut it down. Said if I had waited 15 minutes I would have been able to start the car and drive it in. Who has ever heard of such a thing? I hate all this computerized sh1t on cars!!! One little sensor goes bad and it leads to something like this.

Anyway it's fixed now.

In a 10 hour trip to chicago in which my grandfather lectured me about how american cars are just as good as others I see the following broke down on the way.

Dodge - 7
Chevy - 1
Ford - 1
Mazda - 1 (and it was brand new too)
Jeep - 2
