I threw that statement in there as sort of a "this might happen" scenario. Like most things automotive related, Murphy plays a big hand and makes sure it ALWAYS happens when you can least afford it to (whether time wise or money wise). Very rarely does a vehicle quit working in the driveway or when you are pulling into the shop's parking lot. | |

Nothing like if it seized up at high speed. | |
