I had my CEL come on yesterday and stopped at O-Reilly's to have them read it. The kid behind the counter asks if I know how to use it? I said, yes, why? Well, because of what's going on, we are not testing but we are letting the customers use it.

WTH kind of logic is that? You have a semi-controlled group of people handling a tool, but the policy is to hand it to anybody that walks in the door instead of controlling it.

They need to assign an employee to it. He wears gloves, he wipes it down with sanitizer or alcohol and it has near zero exposure.

How stupid to randomly hand it to anyone. I used it, handed it back and slathered my hands with sanitizer again.

Seems like a quality product if it's new and the CEL comes one. Must be domestic.

No hamburger, no chicken, no pizza, grocery store was ravaged. Hell, I have a lake behind my house, I'll eat fish if I have to.

the earliest signs of the CV rearing its head was in mid-late Jan. What was our congress occupying their time with then?

Trying to overturn an election. Why just not wait a year until the next election and vote him out

equates to:

"we don't care if customers contaminate each other; but we'll try to shield our employees from it."

It was actually a P0307 - Misfire #7 cylinder.

Best outcome? Fouled plug

Worst outcome? Collapsed AFM lifter

It is literally the same everywhere. Just got off the phone with a buddy in Fairbanks AK, and same thing there. Have another friend in Perth Australia, more of the same. I can't imagine the level of dumbassery if we had a real emergency like the power grid going down. Holy shit.....
