🚨 **Your check engine light is on—but your car seems to be running fine. Can you ignore it?**

That little warning light can signal anything from a minor issue to a problem that could lead to more expensive repairs if left unchecked.

Do you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing at this moment? I do. I was at the gym on the treadmill. The whole gym gathered around the TV! At first it was complete confusion, then anger, then the whole gym became completely silent in shock. All the moms went to the daycare and gathered our children and hugged them. I cried the whole way home. I will never, ever forget this day.
