Default Thanks MrExecutiv!!!

Had a bad start today...this morning, like an idiot I locked my keys in my trunk. Two hours later and $140 lighter, I was on the road to Houston. When I got to Houston, I air'd out the GS in the company parking garage. Then I looked closer at the controller Ride Pro E Controller, and all the wires pulled out of the harness...leaving the car aired out with no controls to air it up. I didn't bring my tools with me...I called up MrExecutiv and he brought some tools by after work and we opened the valves up on the airride manually with jumper wire. Met him here on Club Lexus so I wanted to give him a shout out.

Not only has an awesome car but is an awesome person too! Thanks Joe!

I know. Sometimes it is hard to believe how far this forum reaches. People we talk to almost everyday but probably never even see. When we do it is like family. Saw Wringo down in Daytona this year for SBN and that was awesome.

Hope to make it out to some events in the other states and meet up with more CL-ers. Awesome people and always willing to help

all the wires from the harness pulled out of the pins. It looked to be a known problem because when I got the new harness, it was all heatshrank with epoxy so you couldn't pull it out.

anytime Thomas. You sure were having a bad day that time, at least it ended in a good note. I know the feeling of being helpless/stuck with car problems out of town and there has always been someone to help me in those situations. It's just my turn to do the same.
