[s-cars] '95.5 'miss' issues

[Paul Gailus]

135 years?  Not knowing any better, I'll still take that
as a complement.

The only difficult part of diagnosing the shorted coil
was keeping my eyes shielded from the blinding glare
off of Bill's silver Jet Hot coated EM and turbo ;-)

But I definitely came out ahead with the ample supply
of beer and pizza.
