Unhappy Ruby going to the dealer

That's right. When I got out to the car to head home, the CEL was lit and steady. She was also idling extreamly rough (worse than my 7), so she's going in tomorrow morning. Here's hoping it's just a computer problem and I'll have her back tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise I'll be spending my weekend getting the 7 back on the road. I can't stad the though of being stuck in a loaner or my Malibu for a weekend. Yuck :p

Bummer about the CEL, sure its nothing.

I hit your site, good recommendation on the drives. Cougar MTN and Issa/Fall are a blast.
I'll have to give the Jones Rd - Sweeney Rd drive a shot this weekend.

Tolt rd right off 202 outside of Redmond is a nice 2-3 mile stretch to hit.

Yeah, but Tolt Hillis closed right now, so I can't make run for the turn-by-turn. I went to school in Duvall, so I've got plenty of roads up my sleeves still. Just need the time to document them.

The Jones Road/Sweeney Road is on my way home from work.

Nothing like a heel/toe downshifts while blasting under the trestles on Sweeney to make the cares of the day fade away.

It's a fun one. I'm lucky to have a short commute, but driving from one end of E Lk Samm to the other is anything but exciting.

BTW, all they did to Ruby was reflash the PCM. Gotta check and make sure it's "N," but there's a noticeable difference in resonse. I'd been lazy and hadn't taken her in since I got her in Nov '03.
