I REALLY got asked this today by my roommate....now i dont expect him to jump in when im swapping out downpipes or ripping out my suspension...but i NEVER thought i would have to explain how to use an air compressor to my 27 yr old roommate...i may have to move out because i am so disappointed and ashamed

anyone else have friends/family that just dont get it when it comes to automobiles and standard maintenance and why its important?? am i being too harsh just because i love my car and working on it??

 
im just shocked that after having his license 11 years, this is his first time encountering the problem.

 
shops LOVE people like that! all 4 of your muffler bearings are shot! and your running low on spring air

Don't forget the special headlight fluid!!!

Halogen fluid. I sold some today, along with 2hrs labor to flush it and recalibrate it to the correct computer level. I also failed someone for inspection for having a right front brake light out. >

Cha-ching! $12/bulb + $12 for install.

All kidding aside. After doing this mechanical thing for many many years I still have my moments. ....

I had to bring in an Audi for a check over. I couldn't get it out of park. I thought the steering lock was stuck so I turned and jiggled the wheel, nothing, still stuck. Then I thought the key lock out was fooey so I jerked and jiggled the key while moving the steering wheel with my knee while trying to shift out of park, still nothing, still stuck in park. So, I thought the parking pawl was jammed in the tranny (happened before), so I grabbed a co-worker and had him try to shift out of park while I rocked the car back and forth, still nothing, so we switched places and he rocked it while I tried to shift. (are you picturing this?) Still stuk in park. At this time I was getting mad because I was going to have to jack the car and put dollys under the tires and push the fooking thing inside, time consumming and I figured I'd end up drowning in ignorance because I didn't know anything about Audis. While getting out of the car I accidently pushed down on the shifter and it shifted out of park into reverse and started into the woods, so I quickly crammed it back into park and the car was saved. Well, apparently on Audis it wont shift out of park unless the shifter is pushed down first. Works everytime. ;D

 
hahaha inski you'd love my saab, you can't take the key out of the ignition unless the car is in reverse. i've had a few good laughs at that when people drive my car

 
My oldest has a WRX Wagon. She needs to sell it because her husband can't drive a stick. I think he should just turn in his man card and take up improvisational dance.

OK, so...

recently I replaced my G/F's Foresta taillight after disagreement with a 2x4 sticking out of somebody's pickup truck in parking lot

OK, so...

there's kind of a loose connex im the new-used taillight

OK, so...

last nite she and I are coming back from a dinner date and SHEET! blue lites in the rear-view mirror.

OK, so... cop says, "sir, you have a taillight out"

me: "Yeh, I know, can you go back there and just whack it for me?"

cop...(after 5 minutes of checking license/registration/CIA dossier) "OK sir, just get it fixed, OK?! You're free to go"

me: OK if I get out of the car?"

cop: "umm, sure"

me: walk up to dead taillight, hip-check the thing while cop shines flashlight

taillight: comes back ON

cop: laughs his ass off

moral: if in doubt, hip-check that dead light!

I tried that with the dead headlight I have now... didn't work. and the shitty part is that my replacements were delayed from Susquehanna because of a backordered fog bulb.... so it will all be here on the 2nd .....
