Car Update

I got my car back. I assumed that there was a catastrophic engine failure. In fact, it was the "Crank Shaft Sensor" which had gone bad. Evidently if the sensor goes bad, the whole car gets immobilized. This seems a little extreme to me (I would hope that cars are designed to go through various degraded stages of operation before finally quitting). This looks like a minor part that causes a single point of failure. This reminds me of all the bright folks who were absolutely dependent on their pagers and so they purchased pagers through 2 different companies, both of which used the same satellite. You can guess what happened.
