Whats going on here??
So Iam driving my Baby to her final resting grounds "Storage for the winter" today Its about 19 Deg. Outside And Iam going 60mph for about 5 miles all of a sudden the CEL comes on Didnt notice anything out of the norm, Did not do a pull or anything prior(Normal grandma driving.) As i slow to a stoplight the car is misfiring and shaking. I limp it to a parts store and scan it. Misfire on 2,6,8. I clear codes and Restart car problem solved. 
Drive another 10 miles no issue. Any Ideas as to why that happened?
Thanks for any Input!!

Do you remember "P" the code that showed up on the scanner? You can find out a lot of information, from that little code.

evolved8,
Probably a computer realizing it's fate of being trapped in storage and protesting. You are lucky it's not a Toyota that could of went wide open.
Of course it could be what Emoving suggested.
