Default Odd Car stories v.7even

Wanted to tell a odd story that happened.

Needed to buy a pressure guage to measure my compression, so I headed to Sears in search of one. I arrive to speak to a clerk about where to locate one. As he points in the direction, I spy a sexy hot mama walking my way.. damn she's fine. Anyway... I walk over to where he pointed and grabbed it off the shelf, just in time to see that sexy hot chica walking away. So I purchase the item and head out.
I get home to find myself ready to get some compression numbers. I start the process and find out all cylinders are good. Phew, 130k and still going strong. Anyway, I take the car for a drive down a few winding roads cause I have an hour before I gotta go to work and nothing else to do. I get on the main road and I notice the when im above 4k rpms, I can hear this tapping noise coming from my engine. It was very faint so I just thought it was a rock in the tires. Well I pulled over to still hear the tapping (better not be a midget with a hammer). I pop the hood to see the 4th cylinder's spark plug boot resting on the valve cover with a stream of blue electricity extending between them. I was hypnotized by the sparking and was watching it for about 5 minutes before I realized, hey what's that smell? Doh. The spark plug aint even in it either. :doh:
