Big laugh today at work.

**SLKman** · 06-25-2008

One of the BMW guys here has his check engine light on.

I found on bimmerfest.com where you can turn your key to the on position and press the gas pedal 5 times and the check engine light will flash the codes.

He went downstairs to the parking garage to try it.

He came back and said, "It didn't work. I tried it 5 different times! All I did was waste a lot of gas and drew a lot af attention to myself by reving my motor like that."

We all busted out laughing and told him he was not suppose to start his car and rev it, just turn the key to the on position and pump the gas pedal!

We all had a big laugh...we could just see him sitting out there reving his moter over and over and over.

"Here's your sign!"

Now thats hilarious, the guy might be in a hurry just to find out whats the CEL's source.

...moron...

Now he's probably got a new code for BLOWN ENGINE!

**SLKman** · 06-26-2008

Yeah, He's a BoneHead alright!

I just couldn't believe he told us...He should have known we were going to rag on him about it.

I call that the 10% Rule.

You have to be 10% smarter than the equipment you're operating...

Now now, be easy on the guy, he was trying his best to do it right. It's just that his best ain't that good!
