Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Looked at it. I need to get the tire dolly things out and slide this beast over so I have room for the T'bird.

Yesterday dad came over and wanted to drive his new van around a little bit to see what I thought of it. We got to the end of my road and it started missing then we got it across the road and into a gas station where it died and wouldn't restart. Had a few guys help me push it to the pump and put some gas in it and it started back up lol Dad drove it 30 miles to my house on the low fuel light and had it running for 30 min trying to jump start a ladies car. Good thing it ran out so close to the gas station.

Had a big day for the impy yesterday. First big road trip down to Louisville and back in a day, 485 miles, hit 65k, first time driving it in the "snow storm" we got yesterday. Got 26 mpgs on the first tank. Right now average is saying 28.
Then Wednesday it goes into the dealer for reprogramming.

Finally took a min and swapped a very bad wheel bearing. No questions it was bad with how loose it was. Love a 15 min fix.

I'd have told you more...but you didn't text me back until later on.

Speaking offfffffff that. I think I have a genius idea. Need to talk to you.

This is good.. you should pull your phone out of your butthole and call me

This morning sucked.

First my sunroof wouldn't close from being cracked eventually after hitting the button a lot it closed.

Next I got halfway down the driveway and noticed i have only 1 headlight. Stupid HIDs so i drove back home parked the car in the driveway and took the truck to work only be be sent home after 3 hours because the DC we were supposed to get crashed in ohio last night.

Got home pulled car in the garage and the headlight started working wtf? I thought I blew a ballast again must have just been cold or some crap. Tried the sunroof it still kept stopping so i warmed up the car and went HAM with lithium grease. Its better but i need to clean out the tracks badly i think it still is slow to just crack the sunroof and stops sometimes. Meh I'll worry about it in the spring. Then the water pump or some pulley started making an awful noise. I hate the cold.

DC ?

Like a semi full of freight we call them DCs for some reason.

Why do you call them DC's

Beats me, whats everyone in the store calls them. I can only assume because they come from the Distribution Center.

Fix that tire yet?

Blew it up

More details??

Replaced the passenger side taillight bulb. Now when I turn right @ night my high beams come on. Whatever. Also I dug these out of storage;
HO gauge trains from my childhood. Trying to find a new power transformer so I can get the trains running again.


I found this old Lionel too. Had to take the locomotive apart to clean it and remove random track connector pieces that had somehow worked their way inside the engine. Chop choo for the holidays!
