miko2My car is driving me nuts.
Three weeks ago I got a complete 60,000 mile tuneup, after the engine light started coming on. It was fine for a few days, and then the engine light came back on. But it ran fine. I called them and they said to drive it over the weekend and if the light didn't turn off, to bring it in.
Well the following Monday the light went off. It stayed off all week, until Friday. Of course, t he dealership is closed on the weekend, so I had to wait until the next weeks to take it in.
That was this week. I didn't get it taken care of early in the week, and had errands to run on Wednesday. Thursday I slept in because I'd stayed up too late. So Friday I knew that I needed to get it done, didn't want to put it off for another week. I got up early, got ready, and headed out.
The only problem? For the first time in a full week, my engine light didn't come on.
I considered whether I should take it in anyway, but after all, if it stayed off, problem solved. There really wasn't any question that anything was actually wrong with my car. And it would be strange to complain about the engine light coming on when the problem appeared to have solved itself already. So since I'd left early, I went to the dollar store and wandered around a bit. I bought some cheap cans of mixed nuts for work, and a small plastic puss 'n' boots figurine from Shrek 2. I like the dollar store. Everything's a dollar!
I still had some time before work so I stopped at Albertson's and did a little shopping. Then I headed to work.
At this point, of course, my engine light came back on. So basically in the last 8 days it has been on constantly, except for the one single hour when I was planning to take it in to the dealership to look at it.
Stupid car. I'll have to take it in Monday I suppose.
