I was implying that the owner might have broken it even more when attempting the repair, making it take even longer.

Mostly because my washer started leaking and I’m probably going to break it more, too

Oh and Nader got 5% of the vote so we actually have a real populist party

This assumes that the owner hasn’t already attempted to repair it themselves

Connecting the jumpers in the wrong order? Forgivable. I’ve probably done that. Hell, I’ve done stupider things to a car.

But I do not believe that Cuomo has ever held jumper cables before in his life.

Yeah, poor thing was totaled because the mechanic left an oily rag on the engine.

We got another one but it was an automatic and not a true Westfalia.

I can’t listen to Tim Minchin’s “White Wine in the Sun” because I’ll bawl like a baby

Ever since my family lost our VW Vanagon camper to an engine fire I keep one in my cars.

Most restaurants around here just outsource that to DoorDash.

And if you order for pickup they sometimes give your food to a random driver because it says “DoorDash” on the ticket

It’s a parabola because the rest of the ellipse is in the ground.

I have a CBFA engine and not a CCTA one so I have to wait for a turbo again.

Also I stripped the mounting bolt. Icon tools are no joke.

Good news is I have oil and coolant in my hair and it’s still $2,000 cheaper than what my mechanic quoted.

Update: Got a new turbo. Put the new turbo in. Still no boost. Checked my work and connected the charge pipe. Still no boost. Also an oil leak.

At the mechanic now to check if the cats are clogged and limiting exhaust flow

Got them at Costco because I’m dull.

But on the way home my car went into limp mode with a check engine light and a computer error light.

Called Costco and they said “we just did the tires” but when I reset the system by disconnecting the battery the traction control, power steering, and tire pressure lights came on.

And it’s still in limp mode.

Taking her to my guy later today.

Thanks Costco.

ETA: Turns out my coil packs and spark plugs went bad, it was just a coincidence that it happened after the tires.

ETA II: My guy said the spark plugs were all the wrong kind.

 

I guess I’m officially old now
