Man Card Reinstated!
 

I fixed the problem. Which turned out to be a case of my own stupidity. The plug that I thought was for the clutch ignition interlock switch really turned out to be the plug for the underdash light. The plug for the clutch switch was right where I had left it, tucked up in the dash for safety while I replaced the old clutch master cylinder The plugs are the same size and color. Only difference is one has 3 wires and the other two. Silly me.

Oh and two thumbs up for PP who overnight shipped my BMW parts. I ordered them at 7 p.m. my time yesterday and they were here at 2 p.m. today. Yes the shipping was expensive, but I needed them overnight and PP got them to me.

There's still the matter of the bottled water...

Ok I fess up. It's moonshine.:D

flat or sparkling?

blatant lie, since it hasn't made you blind, you could still find the connector, and yer still typing on the interwebz...

Man card status : withheld pending further investigation

But did you fix it with duct tape?

No BFHammer involved. Man card not yet reinstated. :p

fixin it the right way does not get you the card back,
fixin it with parts left over , duct tape or gum..
now your talking Man card reinstatment.
Matching the proper connections ..a woman can do that..
I suggest we place you on probation..

We need to list some automotive related Man Card violations to avoid anything like this happening again.:D

1. Dolphin air freshener hanging from rear view.

2. This will result in a lifetime revocation of your Man Card:

... was at least a little blood spilled, a skinned knuckle? I'm of the opinion that if the mancard has been compromised, then a bit of blood is required for full reinstatement.:D

Does this count?

Kurt - that better not be a mascara smear on your fingernail. And your nails look way too well maintained...

I think that in order for Kurt to have his mancard reinstated, he needs to do the following:

Kurt, for one week, you must drive around with the following items in your car, so you fully understand what it means to REALLY loose your mancard:
1. A bottle of Evian water in one cup holder.
2. A pink or purple cell phone holder in the other cup holder. (Available at any K-Mart or Wal-Mart store)
3. Girls Rule / Barbie / Pink or Purple (or equivalent) steering wheel cover (again, K-Mart is your answer!) (Extra man-points will be awarded if you get the whole matching set of steering wheel cover, cell phone holder, trash bag and floor mats)
4. A scrungie (thing that women use to tie their hair back) around your shift knob. (Available at your local CVS store)
5. A Hanna Montana CD in the stereo, which shall remain ON and at an audible volume ALL WEEK LONG.
6. A Dolphin or rainbow air freshener hanging from the rearview mirror. (Tree-type airfreshener not acceptable)
7. A plush animal (Webkinz preferrable) sitting in the rear deck visible to all.
8. A copy of GQ and Esquire on the passenger seat.

Kurt - this will be a difficult task for you, but your manhood depends on it. You must document your car, and report back to us daily on how these things are effecting you. Worry not - if you survive this week of manlessness, we will be here to bring you back to the fold. However, if after a week, you start a post by writing, "Ya know, I think the Miata's a pretty cool car..." then you are on your own.

So Kurt - are you MAN enough to go through this test?

-Z-man.

Zoltan, that's worse than banning him! :eek:

Just tear into the 911 engine again, Kurt. A rebuild for your man card....priceless.

Nope. Tough love, baby.:cool:

The only easy day was yesterday, Kurt:)

Yup! You're in. The dirt under the finger nails counts too. What a man!:D

if the box in the photo contains your stuff that your SO packed when she booted you out of the house for bringing the bike into the living room to change the oil and using the dishwasher to clean engine parts, then you can have your mancard back.

Lol, I did use the dishwasher for cleaning some suspension parts. But I somehow failed to inform the wife of this.
