Yea, my moms Caddy popped a CEL light on three separate occasions and they were all for the "loose gas cap" reason. I guess this type of cell is pretty common, can be somewhat embarrassing for the user; but hey, it's the cheapest fix ever! I would take a loose gas cap over a blown head gasket any day!!

Ah, cmon give Chris a break. Honestly, how many of you would even remotely think to look at this as the reason. Nevertheless, pretty funny and I will always be double checking my cap from now on. Just look at it this way, you have helped educate all your fellow pcar owners. Congrats on being back on the road. Good stuff.

Seriously guys, and my wife will vouch for me, I am METICULOUS about putting the cap on and clicking 10-12 times. It was the first thing I checked was the gas cap, but apparently it takes a few cycles with it on properly to clear the CEL. Either way, I'm just glad it was nothing major - I was super pissed, just waiting to write PCNA a nasty-gram...
I just got back from dinner with a good friend and was amazed at how much Burbank has changed in the last 15 years or so since I lived here. We're on the road early tomorrow morning for Monterey. I'm hoping we get lots of good shots of exotics on our way up. If we have time, I might stop for some scenic shots along Route 1.
Thanks for all the humor - I needed it after stressing all weekend.

Chris, good to talk to you today... I hadn't realized you'd left for this awesome trip. Your itinerary is a virtual reverse replica of our last cross-country adventure. We drove out the North route (Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, etc.) and back the same way you've gone. God, I love long road trips!
Let me know when you're back to the humid side of the country, so we can grab some food and hang out. Have a safe time the rest of your trip, and say "hi" to the wifey...

Thanks Pure S2000-O, we look forward to seeing you again! We need to round up Pure S4-O and bring him along too... I do have a new man-cave to break in and FIFA 10 is coming.
I am hoping to load up a bunch of pics in tomorrow's post so stay tuned!

Oh I know I was just trying to give him a break as it was obviously freaking him out on his first ever road trip with the car.
