after that, your priorities change. if it starts, it starts. not worth messing with.

Hahaha... Never underestimate the power of bad experiences... Most of the noises and small dings do not bother me 2day, because I grew up driving such turds, that, if it didn't stall on me on a trip, i felt like a king.... The most fun "issue" i had with a car was, my first car (all being manual/stick) would stall every time i ¸pushed the clutch (so, when gearbox inertia was not keeping it running), and now and then i lost all gears but third, and had to get out of the car, and click a little rod on the shifter in place, luckily it was right next to the exhaust manifold, so i burnt my f***ing hand every f***ing time... Ah yes, the central locking didn't allways work, and sometimes it locked itself, regardless of where the keys were, and yes, the sunroof leaked water like niagara falls.... And now people ask me sometimes if i get upset over a little squeak, or a plastic panel not fitting 100%... Dude, if it's running, i'm smiling |
