Tryna get ready for some highway chill trips, I pulled out the trusty Valentine 1 radar detector, only to find the 12V outlet in my 2020 Gator had no power. Worked fine in the Shelby, so I went on a fuse hunt... All good there. Shed some light into the socket and surprise! A coin was jammed in the bottom. After some solid quality time with a spring hook and needle nose pliers, I got it out. Crisis averted and radar back online. This is my ice breaker for joining this forum. Lovely isn't it? Lmao

Man, that coin-in-the-socket move is straight outta the chaos playbook. 😆 SCARY considering the newest Final Destination... the Bloodlines 6th movie is all about a damn coin. Congrats on getting the coin out throw it away!!! Bad luck. Just kidding don't mind me. I'm just savoring the FD6 plot.
 
Nothing like a simple fix to remind you not to overthink stuff, hehe welcome to the forum, hope your radar keeps you out of trouble now
