Yes, I meant that if an error is in memory, it won't pass in Illinois. Regardless, I need to get the sensors fixed. One of them is over $500 and conveniently went bad right about the time my extended warranty expired on miles.

An Illinois title has a line where the seller either certifies that the odometer is correct or says that it isn't.

Used car dealers in Illinois can either sell a car AS IS, NO WARRANTY, or with a written warranty. Whichever the case, it is clearly posted in the window of the car.

Sitting on my butt while others boldly go,
Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri.

My friend Mike (frequently mentioned in the train thread) is home right now, having flown in from Memphis (he didn't want to fly, but if he had taken a train he wouldn't have gotten home until about noon today and he really needed to do laundry). On the plane, he found an iPad in the seat back and turned it in to the flight attendant. He also called the number he found inside to tell the owner he found it and where it was. The owner thanked him and said the airline had already called.

They say no good deed goes unpunished. Last night, he called a local pizza place and ordered an Italian beef sandwich and fries delivered. When it arrived, he took it out to his back patio and spread it all out, ready to eat. Then he went inside to use the bathroom. Two minutes later, he returned to see a large raccoon dragging away his dinner.

Raccoons are opportunists. That is why they do so well in urban areas.

The throttle body position sensor. That includes labor for quite a bit of disassembly and reassembly of the throttle. It's a well known problem on GM cars. That's the dealer's estimate. I haven't tried anyone else, since the car is running fine.

Well, My car passed California(CA) smog here once again today, as it has since 2008 without fail, not bad for a 1999 Ford Escort zx2 Sport Hot Coupe, a 2yr only model.

easy things to try first
use brake cleaner and clean the lil holes in the throttle body

2nd
you can change the damn thing yourself
look on ebay for original gm throttle body (new of course )
i bought a complete gm throttle body brand new and original gm for 140$
(cadillac cts dual throttle)

take the air hose off take remove 4-6 bolts put new on in place put bolts in reconnect hoses fire it up and be happy you saved 300 or more bucks

EDIT:
you can also remove the clamps on the cover and clean the brushes on the lil board takes 15 minutes and everybody can do that

done it many times no special knowledge needed

More importantly, where do you find an Italian Beef Sandwich in Memphis?

I've been searching for a good one in Denver for 20 years without success.

I don't blame the Raccoon one bit, leave one out on the porch around me and see what happens..... ";D)

No, he came home from Memphis. To Chicago. I know what you mean. I didn't realize until the last couple of years that Italian beef is strictly a Chicago thing.

Maybe I'll suggest to Portillo's that they open one in Denver. The new owners are supposed to be interested in expanding.

Spiderman, Spiderman,
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spiderman.

Is he strong?
Listen bud,
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread
Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Spiderman.

In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time.

Spiderman, Spiderman
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
Wealth and fame
He's ignored
Action is his reward.

To him, life is a great big bang up
Wherever there's a hang up
You'll find the Spider man.

If you leave it out on the counter, it will always be spreadable. If you eat it fast enough, it won't spoil. How is that not a win-win?
