^ TT or NA?

A friend had a 300 in the same color he was on the old high one night going around a corner and drove over a sunken manhole lost control and went off the road.
It was NA. It was my first RWD car and loved it so much I had to buy another.

Took the NFR in this morning to PJ's to get someone to look at my cabin light flickering while driving. When I paid and got my keys at lunch, I saw the tech had this note placed on my dash. I almost cried when I read it.

Really interesting to see that range of reactions to this. The guy put 0.7 miles on the car to diagnose and then test the fix. I am happy to have that done because it's the only way to do it right. I laughed when I saw the note since the tech was obviously taken aback by the change in the S

I was glad someone noticed he extra twist from FI but still did the job and only put 0.7 miles on her. I posted this same story on the FI boards here (https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=835471) and they gang was ready to form a lynch party and go after the tech

I get using someone's car for joyriding is uncool, but isn't a road test once in a while inevitable? I just laugh thinking about the tech trying to engage the ACT HD clutch, stalling, then giving it a bit more gas only to have the turbo kick in and smoke the rears - all inside the shop while the foreman glares at him
