There are certain times when a girl wishes she had a boyfriend; when heavy lifting is involved, when there are bugs and when her car starts to act like an asshole.

Last night I turned on Suzi. The dashboard lit up the bright purple color that is synonymous with
VDubb's and she went through her list of checks and balances. As I fastened my seat-belt I noticed that there was one icon on the dash that wasn't going away. It was an yellow exclamation point that was inside a U.

"Uuuh..." I muttered, my breath crystallizing in front of me in the 28 degree cold.

"What's wrong?" said JSutt.

"There's a weird icon on my dash. Here open the glove box and get the book."

We flipped through the pages until we came to the page that lists what all the little icons meant.

"BREAK MALFUNCTION?! SHIT!!!"

"Lees. You're looking at the wrong icon. This one is red. The one on your dash is yellow."

"Oh. Oh ok."

"It says 'system maintenance' or 'tire pressure in one of your tires is dangerously low.' So just take it to the dealership and have them check it out."

Ugh. I looked at my tires and they all look perfectly inflated to me. I reeeeeeally don't want to take it to the dealership. And WTF?! My car has some nerve! Suzi is just over a year old and besides, three hours before this icon blew up in my face she was perfectly fine and icon-free!

Do any mechanics read YGIU?
