Well I had my first scare of the Halloween season. They have been doing alot of road construction in my area lately. So the roads have been pretty choppy , not to mention my car is lowered and rides little stiff. All that abuse was taken out on my coil bracket. IT broke which by itself isn't so bad, what was bad was that it broke while I was traveling in the left lane on a semi busy road on my way to class. All of a sudden I lost power. I thought that it was my NEW fuel pump, nope. So I'm sitting in my car in the left lane with people behind me. My hazards aren't working either. The get around me and the road clears up. Now the scary part. I'm sitting in my car contemplating if I should get out and try to push her over to the left lane, I look in my rear view mirror and see a BIG truck coming at my in me with cars in the right lane. I'm going "please don't hit me! please don't hit me". I think I was more afraid for my fasty than for my safety. (I need help) once that was over I went and opened the engine compartment and saw my coil dangling there held up only by the few wires, not the ignition wire. So plugged it back in and started my car back up and pulled off to fix her properly. Of course I didn't have my tools w/ me. luckily I had a pair of pliers and a dime. I needed a flathead screwdriver so I used the pliers and the dime.
