SpyderLover Hero's...

[Yazz]

Usually, what happens on the road, stays on the road. This is such a great experience, it has to be shared.

To make a long story short, at 8:30 Friday night, found out the front spark plug wire was arcing. The plan was to be at Fun Central (?) at O'dark thirty the next morning, hoping they had plug wires in stock. Reservations were made for another night at the hotel and phoned Hubby with the news I'd be in a day or two late.

Around 10:00 FireFly gets back to the parking lot, learns of the issue and mildly says "Oh, I have a pair of those, which size do you need?" Spydee gets parked in a spot somewhat lighted area, the tools come out and the work begins.

From left to right: SpyderPops, FireFly, DocDuru, and NancysToy.

Want to thank Mike for finding the rear plug wire sparking and that my gas cap was funky,

Doc and Forrest for riding me around when Spydee was down (Apple Martinis are tasty!),

SpyderPops for discovering the front plug wire was arcing,

FireFly for having spare plug wires and diving into Spydee guts,

NancysToy for getting into the other side of the innards,

(Couldn't get a better team of mechs working on Spydee and she's running like a champ now!)

And the whole parking lot gang for keeping my spirits up when times were rough.

I owe everyone big time! Y'all are the BEST! :bowdown::bowdown::firstplace:

When you're with SpyderLovers, you're with family!

Have had Apple Martins before and they tasted like corn syrup and artificial flavoring.

These Apple Martinis tasted like the vodka/gin had soaked with a specific Washington apple and it was infused with the apple flavor. They were light with the taste of a red apple. Yummm...

I would have jumped in there but the thought "too many cooks" kept popping in my mind.

Glad you didn't make youtube,

HotGlue said the same exact thing about "too many cooks." Understand totally. It was comforting that so many great mechs were there until Spydee fired up.

Glad I didn't make youtube too! :yikes:

I kept looking at the growing number of people working on her in that parking and hoped that the combined wisdom and Dan's spark plug wire was gonna fix her problems.ray: Especially when earlier that day Harvey had told you to turn her off at red lights so the fumes wouldn't ignite.:yikes:

Turns out they did it! I'm so glad you haven't had any problems since then.

Got home yesterday on schedule. Hubby was very happy about that! He sends a heartfelt Thank You to all who helped me through this drama. :bowdown:

Holey Moley!!! That was a scary ride from Harvey's place to the parking lot. Did you notice I hit all green lights and didn't let the construction slow me down? :yikes:

With the people working on Spydee, along with the other people there, I knew Spydee was in the best of hands. :firstplace:
