Forty three years later she still remembers and will not let me forget. Women.
Yes, I can see my wife of 42 years bringing this up whenever it suited her. She has an excellent memory for that sort of thing.
Not the exact same thing, but sort of, just happened to me. Wife called yesterday. She is driving her 08 Mugen Civic Si. Says "I was driving car and oil pressure, alternator & check engine light came on. Stopped the car & it was low on oil". I mentally panicked and left the shop unmanned, drove down to get her. How in the heck do all three lights come on at once unless the engine or the computer is fried?
Rest of story is: Check engine light came on. Not blinking. She pulls over in a parking lot, gets out manual. Checks oil - it is 1/16" below full. Turns on key WITHOUT STARTING THE MOTOR and notices the oil pressure light and alternator light.
Naturally, I would rather have her be overly cautious than the opposite so I tried, as gently as possible, to let her know how to handle this in the future.
As these things do happen, I'm driving the Honda back to the shop, and the dang check engine light actually reset itself and went out.
