Complete loss of power last night

Decided to do a little fun fast launch from a stoplight near my house late last night. Heard a pop - then no power, car wouldn't rev past 2500... I nursed it the last 1/4 mile home, at which point it would not even idle. This morning, just before calling roadside assistance, I popped the hood for a quick look around. The large tube in the upper left corner of the engine compartment that connects what must be the air flow sensor to the inverted Y tube had come loose. It looks as if the tech never tightened the hose clamp. Reattached and car is fine....

I am so lucky that it didn't happen running down the tollway

But I think the sudden torque of the fast start moved the engine just enough to pop it off

great dealer

nothing makes an owner feel more confident than
knowing that the dealer is looking properly after his $45K car.

I am resigned to the fact that not only does my car break a lot, but that it takes several times to

fix it
