Car Problems

Girlfriend asks, "What are you laughing at?"

I hand her my phone.

She reads, then giggles. "That's pretty funny."

I ask, "Do you know why it's funny?"

She responds, "It's some sort of Star Wars reference, right?"

Sigh.

It should actually be 1.21 gigawatts

One could argue some sort of Darwin point of view here, but telling someone to deflate their tires and drive could have resulted in a dangerous situation for both the driver and others.

i grew up working for my dad in his shop. this kind of thing happens more than you'd think. we're from a college town so we had girls coming in there sent by their guy friends all the time needing flux capacitors, masturbating cylinders, and my favorite, blinker fluid. it was always fun to play along at first. "oh shit??? blinker fluid? for an 02 civic? hun, you're looking at some big bucks. we might can get to it this afternoon but it's going to be around 500 bucks and that's if any of the parts stores have it in stock." "what??? are you serious?" "no. you need a 5 dollar light bulb. there's no such thing as blinker fluid. give me your keys, it won't take 5 minutes."

Its really just the Carburetor.

Spoiler For those who don't know: Cars haven't had Carburetors in America since 1994.

Lame reference? Check. Facebook screen shot? Check. Dumb girl? Check.

We're clear for a circle jerk. Approach runway two-niner and hold.

JesusHere · 6 months

I just sat there imagining somebody saying in a serious tone "I need more gigawatts for my flux capacitor" and burst out laughing.

If you're having car problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems, but going to 1955 ain't one.

I read your title as "Cat Problems".

I need to get off of reddit for a while.

[deleted] · 6 months

The car repair shops still screwed her. Everyone with a little bit of knowledge knows that it is a defect turbo encabulator.

I don't know shit about cars, very little. I just never needed to drive, public trans was awesome. I was 20 years old before I decided I should maybe go get a license. However my boss said I can't get time off work to get a license since I don't have a car. So I bought a this piece of shit dodge neon from this guy down the road- and now I have a car- I need to go get a license. So hopefully that illustrates how little I know about cars, and the process of doing anything.

Well I had to put the car in storage for a year- and when I get back it is just messed up. It was not driving right, sounded funny- the car had some problems. So I called my future father-in-law who is knowledgable in this subject. After listening to the symptoms he said "Okay. This is common in Dodge Neons. Just take it to a shop you like, one that is trusted in the area and explain to them your poof-anator rod is malfunctioning. They will try to tell you it's other things, because it's their job to make money. Just stand your ground, be assertive, and you'll be go to go.

So I take my car to a shop, and let them diagnose it. They come back with a little a list and say it's going to cost 3 grand (more than I paid for the car) and I say to them, "How about you just repair the poof-anator rod and I'll be on my way." They give me a funny look, and say "We suggest you do this instead. So my assertive honey badger comes out and I go on about how they just need to fix this poof-anator rod, don't fuck with me, just fix the damn thing, stop being corrupted crooks"

They say I can come around the desk- and they go to their search parts. They tell me to type in poof-anator rod, and I try and try to find it. But I can't. They calmly explained that what I was getting upset about doesn't exist, and if I want to try again.

With shame and humility, I said "okay....."

William almost got points for a good Back to the Future reference, but "21 gigawatts" is unforgivable in my book.

Tarconus · 6 months

It's 1.21 jiggawatts what an asshole

Tapeboy · 6 months

This is the fakest thing I've ever still laughed at.

Nice repost

bullet_101 · 6 months

As an former Automotive Mechanic, I sigh every time I see someone reference the "All mechanics rip you off" cliche. Thankfully I no longer work on cars.

thearrival · 6 months

I heard this joke a really long time ago. I wasted a few minutes trying to find the oldest version. I found people talking about it being an old joke in 2004 here

I hope she found him and kicked him in the face. What a worthless cunt he is.

Firezone · 6 months

If you havin' car problems i feel bad for you son, i got 99 gigawatts but my flux capacitor got none.

MJCPRODUCTIONZ · 6 months

I think she can relate to this

Hrel · 6 months

What a dick move, deflate tires? So he cost her at least 500 dollars. On another note: What does "the battery thing" mean? The battery? I wouldn't think that would cause the car to randomly stall, sounds more like a fuel pump.

AspergerExplainer · 6 months

It's a joke about the Back to the Future film series, and it's hilarious. The guy with the car believed the BTTF stuff, and that's funny because it's stupid.

hackneyedphrases · 6 months

Fuck this guy. Trolling was going too far for this.

ladyofrage · 6 months

I haven't laughed this hard all month. Thanks!

lotusmel72 · 6 months

Seriously stupid, if you drive a car you need to know at least the basics... Accident waiting to happen

Cyberslasher · 6 months

the battery thing

Glad you were almost able to listen to the repair shop.

Too bad this is fake...

TheoQ99 · 6 months

Well at least it wasn't a problem with her blinker fluid.

andre96 · 6 months

1.21 gigawatts actually....

ezekiel55 · 6 months

hahahahha that was great

kmreid · 6 months

A few days ago, I saw a car that had a bumper sticker that read, "Can you give me directions to the nearest junk yard? My car is homesick." Oddly enough, it was attached to a Dodge Neon that sounded like it needed to be put out of it's misery.

palebluebob · 6 months

..and while you're at the shop, better have them replace the muffler bearings.

tecksbuk · 6 months

I believe she made herself look like an idiot.

Truck_Thunders · 6 months

Is anyone else impressed that he used "you're" correctly?

Black_Apalachi · 6 months

I don't believe she would even know how to deflate her tyres. I mean, unless she full on slashed them.

JonnyFandango · 6 months

I have successfully done this to two people. It never stops being funny.

Airazz · 6 months

Why would the engine stop when the car is standing still if it's the battery?

liquidify · 6 months

This is the best.

genzoids · 6 months

Pure gold.

Popo5525 · 6 months

If you're havin' car troubles I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but my flux ain't one.

MisterAwesome333 · 6 months

He just won at internet.

JETLOCK · 6 months

No wonder they looked at her funny. That's nearly 18 times more giggawatts than a flux capacitor can take.

LeftHandsociety · 6 months

I would like to note that most guys on here wouldnt know the difference either if they switched the flux capacitor with another automotive term.

madam_librarian · 6 months

My friend's turn signals weren't working, so her brother-in-law told her to ask the mechanic to replace the blinker fluid. Of course, they laughed at her.

awesomeman23 · 6 months

I don't get it.

trolol69 · 6 months

Yeah... The battery "thingy"

Yeah, that's what we do, we sell you things you don't need.

[deleted] · 6 months

Just like AC and DC currents, some cars (most notably the Buick Regal and Chevrolet Caprice (1985-1999 model years) require an alternative source of power to 1.21 gigawatts.

trampus1 · 6 months

Just take the car to the mechanic at 123 Fake St. It's across from the place where they make these fakebook posts.
