Do you want fries with that?

Once a month I have a meeting that runs until about 9pm. Most of the time it is very dull and runs on longer than it should. As a treat for surviving the meeting I'll swing through McDonald's on my way home and get an order of fries. Well last night I was really craving fries. MMMM..... Hot, salty, crunchy, grease injected, goodness. It was not a meeting night and I have been eating really healthy so I was debating whether or not I should get fries.

About this time my car's check engine light came on. Yes, the same car I picked up from the shop on Tuesday. The mechanic replaced a bad EGR or EGN something valve. Anyway it's the valve that regulates the mixture of gas and air in the engine. Mine was bad and the car wasn't getting enough gas so I had no acceleration. In light of the the check engine light I went directly home, passed McDonald's, but did not collect fries. Bummer.

The mechanic says the car is probably just "throwing some bad code". Which translates to "stay away from McDonald's."
