I have a problem
I can stop if I want

  1. We admitted we were powerless over the CELs– and that the project car had become unmanageable.

  2. Came to believe that a Mechanic greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
  3. Made a decision to turn our parts and our project car over to the care of the Mechanic as we understood him.
  4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our factory extended warranty.
  5. Admitted to the Mechanic, to ourselves, and to another car enthusiast the exact nature of our wrongs.
  6. Were entirely ready to have the Mechanic remove all the cheap eBay parts we installed in our fiend’s garage.
  7. Humbly asked Him to clear our CELs
  8. Made lists of all our friend’s tools we have broken, and have become willing to order replacements
  9. Made direct amends to such friends whenever possible, except when to do so would lead them to mod’ing
  10. Continue to reflect upon our warranty when we are at car shows and promptly admit the next mod will not add 5HP
  11. Sought through repair estimates and cash payment to Him to decreases our contact with the Mechanic as we understand Him, hoping only He will warranty the work already carried out.
  12. Having had a routine service with no CELs as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles at all the car shows we attend.
