I borrowed the title from NPR's "Click & Clack the Tappet Brothers" radio show but this is my own experience.<br /><br />Couple years ago I got hit from behind in my '96 Tbird. About $4,000 in damage including the left taillight assembly. Car still worked, so I drove it a couple days prior to putting it in the shop.<br /><br />One thing I described to the technician was the curious behavoir of the cruise control since the wreck: it worked fine, but soon as I turned on my left turn signal, the cruise disengaged, just as if I had stepped on the break.<br /><br />Month or so later when I picked the car up, I asked about the cruise control. Nothing about it on the work order; I was ready to get mad because he apparently forgot to include it. He suggested we take a test drive to see if it was "still broken." I said, "you mean it might have healed itself?" While driving the car I discovered that the cruise control did in fact work perfectly.<br /><br />Anybody know how this car managed to fix itself?<br /><br />jtw
