Mine blew off on the highway at 10 PM...and my cell phone was dead! I was trying to wave down cars so I could use their phone or have them get me a flat bed tow truck. but I had no luck with that...I tried turning my cell phone on and it just started up, I called my dad and I told him on the side of the highway, then it died for good. After about 30 minutes of searching he finally found me, it was a ****ty experience. It happened once before that too but I was smart enough to have a charged cell phone that time

I pop the hood look around and don't notice anything but then again it was pitch black and all I had for light was my cell phone.. Call a buddy, he brings a trailer, we tow it to his house..

Next day I don't even look at the car because I'm so pissed, leave it on trailer and tow it straight to Dyno4mance.. Get there, pop the hood, and the IC pipe at the TB is just laying there.. I felt a huge sense of relief, but at the same time felt like a complete moron for going through all the trouble of hauling the car around on the trailer..
damn that sucks!!!
