Stop! Hijacker!


Anyhow.. as it turns out.. during recent repairs I messed up the transmission vacuum lines.

What happened was a completely inappropriate up**** into 4th gear (going 30mph). I think my Mazda pickup would have just sputtered and died had I shifted it like that. My 300CD just runs slower. Go figure.

I'm not a certified mechanic, but I did stay at a HolidayInn Express last night.
