I freakin' hate that!

Mine never tells me if there is anything funny or wrong with her car, and I drive it like every other month to change the oil, and it's always something pretty messed up...

Well, at least my wife checks the oil... She doesn't check the tires though, grr, rear tires are totally effed up now...

I know it's illegal to have one in a vehicle in Indiana and Kentucky, just do a search on google, you should be able to find a list of states it's illegal/legal in. I still have one mounted in the DIN of my '06 Civic though, helps me avoid road closures due to accidents or bad weather.

Pulled the battery to be tested, removed the serpentine for pulling the alternator. Still too wet to lay down and get it, though. $%!#@ snow.
