Hi All,

I forgot to mention this in She's Dead Captain.  I was able, before the 
coil died, to kill the ignition on 2 cars driving by.  The first one failed 
and came to a stop, and would not restart while the coil was running.  I 
then shut down the coil and the car started.  I then fired the coil again 
and it died again.  As I am not a car person, I can't tell you the exact 
model, but I think it was a Ford.  Later I had another car just like it die 
also while the coil was running and wouldn't start until I turned the coil 
off.
