My Car Has It in for Me...

...recent (and first-time ever) LHM episodes, potential O2 sensor (jury's still out). Interestingly, the 5- and 7-flash CEL lights went OUT today.
Warning to all: DON'T say to yourself, in a moment of driving your car and being pleased with it, "Wow, this car's great. If only it could always be this perfect." Do so at your own peril. Did that today, and next thing I know, the clutch pedal sank to the floor. The going theory is clutch hose (clutch hyrdraulic fluid sprayed on inside of driver's side fender liner and collected down by tranny mount, no visible fluid inside transmission by peering into bell housing inspection window). I HOPE it's that. Clutch and tranny were installed new 80k miles ago.
Lucky for me, I was only a couple of miles from home, versus out in the city somewhere. But I'll think twice before thinking too much about my car's terrific condition and performance. And this is a car that's been completely redone. I mean everything. Will soon have rebuilt TB installed, to boot.
Sigh.
Of course, when I get the car back from my Indie (I hope tomorrow), and the car starts driving well again, I will most definitely be praising it yet again. Wonder what I'll have to fix NEXT time.

'93 Aero 5 spd., 156k mi., all redone, but clearly, NEVER finished!
