flash of death

[cobram at juno.com]

The car doesn't move, it's dead where it sits.  Aside from getting out
and pushing what are the options, and how is grandma, the cell phone or
Budda to blame?  There's really nothing to debate at all let alone
forever (that's what Torsen threads are for) it's a known defect that is
going to be repaired under warranty.  I understood your analogy
perfectly, that's why I ripped it apart, maybe you missed that part?
