Dean Domino Update
I made mention of meeting this fine looking fellow a while ago. He kind of stuck in my head.
About a month back, I headed back to see if the King of Swing was still hanging around the muffler shop. We pulled around back where I'd seen him, and got out and looked around some. Saw another cat, but Dean Domino was nowhere to be seen.
I was getting ready to head off, when my son said since we were already there, I might as well inquire with the guy from the muffler shop, so I headed in. The guy says, “Oh yeah, the lady at the shop on the end has been taking care of him!!!” and he escorted me over there. He tells the lady why we're there, and she, indeed has been taking care of him!!! She had him behind the counter, and he was curled up on a blanket, snoozing away his best life!!!
She already has several cats at home, and this little dog (I'm not sure if he was a 'shop dog' or if he goes back and forth with her) so Dean stays at the shop. She wasn't keen on taking him home, too, and said she may find someone who will give him an actual home.
Who knows... that someone may be me!!!

The third Dean Domino Update: Two weekends ago, I took Kutcher to the muffler shop. It's been having issues stalling when coming to a stop, and I've thrown a lot of stuff at it. MAF sensor was one of the possibles, and I had picked up a rather pricey can of MAF cleaner, and sprayed it off (it was fairly dirty). I took it to the muffler shop to get the catylic converters checked, to see if it had blockages, since it was consistent with that. They were good, and they did it for no charge!!! I tell you, I've found my new muffler shop!!! The guy who'd done the repair on Scruffy was telling the guy with the Supra he was working on, "this ain't nothing compared to his Saturn!!!" The other guy who checked the converters said that to him, it sounded like a MAF sensor issue, too, and I'd read that they are very sensitive, and you should disconnect the battery any time you do anything with them, so I had one on order from Rock Auto, along with a new set of coils and plugs. One of the coil mounting holes was stripped out, so I ended up putting an EZ-Loc insert in that one, and then it was still running poorly. Scanner showed an issue with #3, so I reset and swapped #1 and #3, and the trouble code followed, so I had a bad coil outta the box!!! Put one of the newer old ones in it's place, and the new MAF sensor seems to have cured the issue, albeit it's only been a couple of days. Anyway, since we were there again, I headed over to the shop where the lady was seeing to Dean, and her daughter was running the desk that day. I showed her the picture from when we first met him, and asked if she'd seen this cat!!! Turns out, her mom has taken him home, and he's living his best life there now!!!
