@Ldubbz:

this is why my #1 factor in buying a car is bulletproofedness. if the car is not absolutely legendary in its ability to run to well over 200k, it's off the list. you can run an old corolla with a dry dipstick for a thousand miles. same with d series hondas.

bought a 92 celica convertible for $2k. the guy must have had every stop-leak oil and radiator treatment known to man, and by all evidence, he had used a bit of all of them in every part of the car that got wet one way or another. starting failing massively after 2 weeks. $2k more into it. more failure. donated it to…

I have enjoyed reading this, these.... chronicles of Rhitick.

@Ldubbz:

remember kids, if you just drank, tell them you drank your last an hour ago (they'll make you blow immediately, before that last one actually hits your bloodstream) if you drank an hour ago, tell them you just finished one (they'll make you wait 40 minutes)

also, i have that typical nerd idiocy that allows me to fix computers and cars, but also causes me to leave my headlights on. being able to push start a car isn't just a plus for me, it's damn near neccesary.

my parents made me learn in a 79 accord so that in a pinch i could drive pops 90 CRX Si.

@Hughesfullstop:

fucking hell. either going 90 is dangerous and ought not be allowed, or it isn't and should be allowed.

my brother used to take his old volvo out into the woods to look for trees small/dead enough to knock down with it.
