And they're off for round 2

Last night, fired up old sparky, and sparky was not the smooth running machine he had been earlier in the day. Rough engine, felt like a misfire, stupid check engine light came on.

Same thing this morning. Back in the shop, another $200 estimate to diagnose....

Hello, I thought you did a thorough check? Oh yes, we noticed the spark plugs look original to the car (171k miles ago? I don't think so unless the dealership in VA did something screwy at the 65k tune up or the later replacement of plugs) I can't help that the plugs look like those that would be original to the car, uh, Buick dealership would be using GM parts, right?

Anyway, this morning I am now annoyed
