Let me add, (from experience) that any way the plug gets lit, whether it be old school distributor, coil pack, or coil on plug, it can shock a human very badly. It's easy to get lulled into a false sense of comfort working on 12v automotive electricals, but the power levels going to the spark plug are much higher.

This is a fun move to pull for the reasons you stated but also because it surprises those who didn’t consider it as an option when selecting a schedule.
Downside- we need long breaks to truly relax and calm down. Not much resetting you can do in a day but with three there’s more opportunity.

I own a rare collector car with a three-digit VIN. This has caused endless hassles at the DMV as well as the insurance office.
Sometimes we find success by prepending the necessary number of zeros, before the VIN. Other instances in the same system require appending zeros after the VIN. The true VIN has a hyphen but that never makes it into the DMV's system. One time I got stuck in a particularly nasty loop where the DMV mailed over thirty notices claiming the register would expire on 01/01/0000.
