Another smacked up PS hose? I wondered during the light, then quickly got in the right lane pulling into a Office Cheapo parking lot. PS hose??

No..... Turned out to be the dreaded silent tranny killer. The short hose from the ATF filter sprung a leak. Luckily it didn't pour out straight to the street as it's happened to other members, but rather spurted out, hitting an exhaust header causing a visual warning.

No damage done I don't think, and only a 20 minute fix, but I was still hoping for a little pity. You know, a couple of "ahhh, that's terrible electrophil!", or "Hey, it could be worse, keep that chin up guy!", or "Hey, sorry to hear it... I just paypal'd ya $60 for a fancy lunch to get your mind off the grief". You know, pity along those lines.

We have a traffic light that has a reputation for 'so-slow,' that a local radio personality was wondering if a person could actually run into the Domino's Pizza shop, ORDER, and be in the car ,'IN LINE' when it was delivered to the curb!!

A lot of cars have been PUSHED into the pizza shop parking lot over 'mechanical failures. that occur at the (subject to Guinnis Book rules) RED LIGHT!!!

I am sorry that you had the problem, and rejoice that it didn't require a FIRETRUCK, or ROLL-BACK to bring this ,saga, to a close!!
