Not me! Yay

I did however have an air bag failure warning (drivers seatbelt cable had come loose) plugged back in correctly and dealer cleared the code and it was all good

Also had a hard start at the gas station, actually that happened on the 29th Dec 2016... So scrap that one haha.

Done today: oil change, engine mounts, and a new headlight bulb (passenger side high beam). Car drives awesome. New year, start fresh.

I realized that buying a lot of oil from Cushing is cheaper than messing with amazon sales. So, I'll be taking delivery of 500 barrels of crude, which should reduce my cost point after distillates are sold commercially.

No, but if you have trouble getting it up when needed or if it stays up for more than 4 hours you should contact your mechanic.

So how long are you guys going to give Schnelly before you start "honoring" me for killing the best thread ever?

Probably not as important as whomever finally teaches KC what humor is, but I think it's a rather austere title to have none the less.

I was in "ninja" mode though: balaclava with skeleton graphic, beanie, shades, tunes so pretty sure I was incognito
