Default A death? Well, let's just say I didn't win.

I was planning on leaving town, going up home and visit the family. I just put a new PCM in my car and was taking it to get dyno'd to check my A/F at WOT because before hand it was incredibly lean. Did the first pull and I only put down 359 HP on the second pull I put down 377 HP. And then someone from around the shop came yelling with a fire extinguisher. "It's on fire!" There was a pretty good size oil leak coming from the driver's side. (I still don't know where. It's going to be a few hours until it cools down so it can be checked) I did, however, find out that the oil landed on my LT's and caught fire! Talk about ruinin' a weekend.

Maybe you don't think this is a death... to that i say! Screw you guys ;-)

Yeah, I rented a van. I'm pretty sure it goes faster than my Z did lol. Hopefully they'll let me through the gate w/o too much hassle.
