Last night I was sitting in the Wendy's drive through and noticed one of my AeroForce gauges wasn't on. No big deal, happens every so often. I shut the car off and go to start it like so many times before, and get nothing but cranking. This shit goes on for a few minutes before I call my brother to come scoop me up. It's now 2:00am and I just want to go home. He arrives and we push my ridiculously heavy GP into a parking spot, then get some food. Anyhow, I return this morning and crank it. Same deal, no start. I popped off a plug wire and held it close enough to a point on the coil and have my brother crank, got electrocuted. Yes, has spark. Next I reach over to the feed line on my fuel rail and attempt to pop off the stupid factory nylon connector and it snaps off in my hand, fuel spills everywhere. Needless to say, car has fuel. Now the fucking thing not only doesn't start, but it's got a busted fuel line. Oh fucking well, I should have gone with braided stainless anyway. I'm going to have it towed to the driveway here and replace it with the following shit, I've already ordered it up:

Stupid fucking Grand Prix spends more time on the back of flat beds than on the road. It's back at home and sleeping in my driveway until my fuel line parts arrive. Gasoline sprayed onto my blower and fucked the paint, oh well. More updates as they come in.

I'm an even bigger idiot, I bought two 5/16 compression fittings. I need ONE 5/16 and ONE 3/8. Looks like I'll be delayed until Wednesday or so.
