DEMENTED MECHANIC ARRESTED FOR IMPROPERLY FLASHING ECUs

A customer took this photo of technician Garmisch Plecker reflashing an ECU

A local automotive technician was arrested yesterday after a customer observed him “half-naked” flashing a car’s engine control unit (ECU).   According to police, 40-year-old Garmisch Plecker was taken into custody on one charge each of indecent exposure and annoying an Acura.

“There’s a right way and an immoral way to reflash a car’s ECU,” said police spokeswoman Midol Winchell, who resembles a young Bruce Dern.  “And the way he did it ain’t right.”

Police said Plecker’s abnormal flashing process was observed by a customer who arrived early to pick up his Acura Integra.  “He’s a sick man,” said 28-year-old Caster Lamprey, who later acknowledged that his Integra, “has never run better.”
