Nice work Clyde...was driving the 365 over the weekend and one of the spark 
plugs vibrated out of the head and scared the crap out of me.

I was on the shoulder of a backroad with no tool kit or rags (was on a short 
stint near the garage). Only a sport jacket and a copy of Kiss Alive II in the 
cassette deck. I managed to hand tighten the plug into the very warm head and 
make it back 1.5 miles.

The joys of toys!
