I figure if nothing bad has happened in 15,000 kilometers I'll just continue to put up with it. (The noise that is.) But... I have very little faith in dealers anymore. Glad that this is my last car. |

Reminds me of when I was a very young kid and bought my first dirt bike (Hodaka/Steens). I got it real cheap because the previous owner said it hadn't ran in a couple years. It had no spark. I pushed it home, took the kill switch off the handlebars and fired it up.

finally figured out that there was a low oil cutoff hidden away as part of the cutoff switch. the oil was about 1/64th of a quart low. literally put a few drops in and it fired right up. but to get to that point, we pulled all of the cutoff stuff off. i figured i'd just pull the plug wire if it worked. well, it fired right up without all the kill switch stuff in the way. and shocked the hell out of me as i tried pulling the plug for what felt like 5 minutes, while my dad laughed harder and harder the longer i tried my only regret is that i didn't make him pull the plug so i could laugh.

Tell that to the B17 that crashed a couple years ago. Shoddy maintenance by all appearances, but still. At least I think it was magneto... Both. Probably on multiple engines.

That was questionable. Sounded like there were more than a few 'homebrew' repairs on that bird that didn't help matters
