He forgot to tell her that she has to get it up to 88 MPH first. That's why it didn't reset.

HelloBttmCmmntRdr · 1 year

It took her 2 hours to let the air out of her tires, fill her gas tank, go to the mechanic shop to get the problem fixed, and get back on facebook to tell her friend off (and she didn't even do it from her cell).. I wish I was as efficient as this girl even if it means being half-retarted.

I'm confused. Why is everyone arguing about the vehicular rights of this imaginary dumb person?

Might as well be arguing about whether or not the car's problem was in fact its flux capacitor....

And I would do that to my friends, except most of my friends are engineers.

Maybe she just needed to change the air in her tires....should be done seasonally.

cerealghost · 1 year

To be fair... a battery is like a large capacitor but with limited flux.. and it was having a problem providing enough watts, so you could even... no, no, this is just funny.

Sirtet · 1 year

Well at least he was on the right track, talking about electrical on it.

for a second there I though maybe she had a hybrid car, and it would cut off at the lights..like they are suppose to do.

EDIT: added "from the garage" .

When my parents were dating, my mom couldn't figure out why her tires were always deflating. My dad told her it's because she needed "summer air" in her tires. Needless to say, she had a few choice words for my old man when she got back from the garage.

I had a friend in high school that knew nothing about cars, and he would constantly ask me and my friend for advise about what to do when something went wrong.

One day he came to us and told us that he was going to get his car serviced at the dealership (parents had lots o-money and wanted to keep all the service done at the dealer they bought the car from). We told him to make sure to have his carburetors checked. His car had fuel injection.

When he got back we asked what they said about the carbs. The dealership played along with our joke and told him that the carbs couldnt be checked because the fuel injectors were in the way.

I'd probably do this to somebody just to teach them the lesson that if they are going to own a car, they should know about how it works and how to fix it if something goes wrong.

If your knowledge of how a car operates is that low, you deserve to be laughed by mechanics and DON'T deserve the right to drive.

Hey kids! Gather round and listen to the story of the "Carburetor Cooler"

I was a nerd growing up, but I was friends with a group of more redneckish kids. One of my friend's older brothers always raced in the local demolition derby, which we thought was awesome and all wanted to do, but we are all like 13 years old so obviously we had to do some growing up first.

Well my buddy is tired of waiting. He wants to race cars and race them now! So he finds a jr. stock car racing circuit at a race track a 2hrs drive away. He gets his junk car and works on it for a long time but he gets it ready (with some obvious help from his brothers). Now it's time to go race!

I was lucky enough to be included in the group of friends who took the roadtrip to go see the little redneck kids race their cars. The age range was from 12-15 or something like that. Well the race starts and the cars are loud and slow and dust is flying and all that redneck shit. These little punks are super aggressive and lots of the cars are banging into each other.

After a handful of laps, my buddy is actually doing pretty well. He's at least in the middle of the pack. Suddenly he slows down and pulls over to the side. Smoke or steam's coming out of his car. He sits there for a minute trying to get it to restart. All my redneck car geek friends speculate as to what's wrong. I don't know shit about cars so I'm feeling awkward and I want to participate so I try bullshitting them: "Looks like it's the carburetor cooler!" Of course there's no such thing, and everybody just cracks up and it became a running joke.

A bad battery wouldn't allow the car to even start. If she had said alternator, maybe. But not the battery. Fake.

Having a dead battery will not cause your car to stall at a stoplight. Having a bad altenator, however, may/will do this.

Kinda fake. :)

I feel that if you don't know the basics about how a car works you shouldn't be allowed to drive. Driving is a privilege, not a right.
