look what i found...

well i was cleaning my engine bay when i noticed something strange behind the header.

it is a frekin owners manual! how it got there remains a mystery to me, but my guess would be that the dealer who serviced my car left it in there. Its not my owners manual either, cause mine is still in my glove box. Im surprised that it did not burn due to the heat. Ive been driving for 3 weeks with that there. I had to remove the valve cover to get it out cause my strut bar was preventing me from reaching it. blah..i still dont know what to think of this :?

They must've been reading the instructions on how to assemble a Box and dropped them in when they were done. D'OH!

See what can happen when you RTFM...
