So I'm blaming Bob Balafas for this one.

I loaned him my Megasquirt Stimulator, which is needed to simulate the vehicle so you can bench test your Megasquirt. I needed it to check out my settings, etc., and see what needed to be done before I swapped the MS1 chip for an MS2 chip. He's still got it, and he's busy tonight, so what am I gonna do now?

Well, I guess the car's all bolted together, so I suppose I could use that...

And I'm sitting there, in my car, playing with the laptop, and my hand just kind of goes for the ignition. I wasn't even really aware I was doing it, but almost before I heard the noise of the starter,

I gots me a big ol' smile right now...
