i SO didnt need this
so, my car weirdness.
i got fed up and took it in. this time the misfiring didnt go away. turns out one of my plug wires was broken. in half. and close enough to the distributor to make the terminal corrode. in addition to this, the oil-change guys spilled oil on the engine, and it's pooled next to a spark plug. the one which probably is now the remaining problem.
so, i'm not Athens bound tomorrow. I'm missing a training opportunity at a conference there.
it's all par for the fucking week.
