| scientes | I get 2 days | Nov 18 15:09 |
| scientes | I really do like having maps in my pocket however | Nov 18 15:09 |
| superkuh | When I have to use any phone, yeah. Old nokia. | Nov 18 15:09 |
| superkuh | I have a dedicated car GPS that does not track me. | Nov 18 15:09 |
| scientes | and also I can't use GSM directly, I need SIP and WhatsApp and Telegram and Signal and hopefully some day Wire | Nov 18 15:09 |
| scientes | well I use OSMAnd | Nov 18 15:10 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Was it Prestigio? | Nov 18 15:10 |
| scientes | XRevan86, moto e5 | Nov 18 15:11 |
| XRevan86 | So, Lenovo | Nov 18 15:11 |
| scientes | no, motorolla.... | Nov 18 15:11 |
| scientes | (which is owned by Google) | Nov 18 15:12 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Not since 2014 | Nov 18 15:12 |
| scientes | I need a new phone however, cause it doesn't have the 800 Mhz LTE band | Nov 18 15:12 |
| scientes | XRevan86, oh, didn't know it was spun off | Nov 18 15:12 |
| scientes | or rather sold, to Lenovo | Nov 18 15:12 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: I meant her phone | Nov 18 15:12 |
| scientes | oh, I have no friggen idea | Nov 18 15:12 |
| scientes | they all look the damn same | Nov 18 15:13 |
| scientes | presigio is only 3Ah too | Nov 18 15:13 |
| scientes | I want at least 4Ah | Nov 18 15:13 |
| scientes | along with only A53 | Nov 18 15:13 |
| scientes | I don't care if its friggen slow | Nov 18 15:13 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Prestigio's are assembled in Belarus (at least those that I know of) | Nov 18 15:14 |
| scientes | oh wow | Nov 18 15:14 |
| XRevan86 | that's the closest to a Russian phone I can think of | Nov 18 15:14 |
| scientes | I should tell my Belarusian friend (however she doesn't really speak English) | Nov 18 15:14 |
| scientes | so its kinda hard for us to communicate | Nov 18 15:14 |
| XRevan86 | Well, there's Inoi, but I don't think that found any success | Nov 18 15:15 |
| XRevan86 | And then there are numerous MNO branded devices | Nov 18 15:16 |
| scientes | she instead studied German, like a friggen Soviet | Nov 18 15:16 |
| scientes | I guess the Soviets studied German cause it the strongest science language inside the empire? | Nov 18 15:17 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Good relations with GDR | Nov 18 15:17 |
| scientes | but its also the language of chemistry | Nov 18 15:17 |
| scientes | and of basically all science before English took over, even while the British empire was dominent in trade | Nov 18 15:18 |
| XRevan86 | seems plausible | Nov 18 15:18 |
| scientes | I'm about to finish a book on Dutch in the 17th century | Nov 18 15:18 |
| scientes | and I have another one, when I finially get the luggage they the airline left in Lisbon | Nov 18 15:18 |
| XRevan86 | "so its kinda hard for us to communicate" scientes: How are your Russian studies? :) | Nov 18 15:19 |
| scientes | A Russian couple at the hostel are nice to me, and smile at my Russian audio recordings | Nov 18 15:20 |
| scientes | I'm half way through the Pimsleurs | Nov 18 15:20 |
| scientes | less in the reading part | Nov 18 15:20 |
| scientes | also, I finially got to the point where Spanish reading is enjoyable | Nov 18 15:20 |
| scientes | and I ran into a very literate Georgian, who studied German under the soviets, English after collapse, and spent 11 years in Barcelona, and was studying 11th 12th and 16th century georgian when I met him on the black sea | Nov 18 15:21 |
| scientes | really nice good guy | Nov 18 15:21 |
| scientes | and when I told him the US was going to collapse he immediately started asking questions, the exact right thing to do | Nov 18 15:21 |
| scientes | even if he didn't want to hear that | Nov 18 15:22 |
| scientes | cause Georgia is extremely pro-US due to (justified) fear of Russia | Nov 18 15:22 |
| scientes | *in Barcelona as a diesel mechanic | Nov 18 15:22 |
| scientes | Russian is a more difficult language however | Nov 18 15:23 |
| scientes | also, these stories were extremely useful in learning spanish stories.duolingo.com/ | Nov 18 15:23 |
| scientes | and for Russian all I have is the less interactive learnrussianthroughstories.com/ | Nov 18 15:24 |
| scientes | The Polish man I met who could express his feelings in Russian learned from English on YouTube | Nov 18 15:25 |
| scientes | He also got a World Cup ticket just to travel to Russia | Nov 18 15:25 |
| scientes | Now that I am getting a little more use to hearing Russian I notice the Georgians go back and forth between Russian and Georgian like Usonians with Spanish-speaking parents, which makes alot of sense | Nov 18 15:36 |
| scientes | Rusgian? | Nov 18 15:37 |

| scientes | XRevan86, In South American I hardly spoke English, but here it is the lingua franca (Russian too), and I speak it every day, but haven't met a native speaker since London. I need to drop my slang, drop my euphemisms, drop pretentious latin where anglo is fine (this is not central Europe), and speak slower | Nov 18 19:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR_: I remember when I was really young and I wanted to have a Mercedes really bad. | Nov 18 19:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But I couldn't afford one. | Nov 18 19:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I saw one at a used car lot from the 1980s and I thought maybe I could get a good deal on it and drive it around. | Nov 18 19:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It was pretty rough though. | Nov 18 19:43 |
| danielp3344 | When I first started car shopping I had a really tough set of conditions | Nov 18 19:48 |
| danielp3344 | Had to be a manual trans, Couldn't be a European car, Had to be moderately cool but not too beat up | Nov 18 19:49 |
| danielp3344 | Ended up with the firebird | Nov 18 19:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've ended up with an odd assortment of cars over the years. | Nov 18 19:49 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC[m]: lol | Nov 18 19:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My favorite was the 1996 Crown Victoria. | Nov 18 19:50 |
| MinceR | i've experienced enough of mercedes-benz's attempts at making vehicles, i don't want any more of that shit | Nov 18 19:50 |
| danielp3344 | Purely out of morbid curiosity last night I decided to test the acceleration on my truck | Nov 18 19:50 |
| danielp3344 | All I can say is holy cow | Nov 18 19:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Shouldn't have gotten rid of it. My ex convinced me I needed a new car. I didn't. It got repossessed and he ended up redeeming the loan to avoid being sued. | Nov 18 19:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That was the only funny part. | Nov 18 19:50 |
| MinceR | they can't make suspensions, they can't make the side of a microbus not wave in the wind, they can't ventilate the passenger compartment, they can't even make a safe bus | Nov 18 19:50 |
| danielp3344 | Even with 800lbs of junk in the bed | Nov 18 19:50 |
| MinceR | "german engineering" | Nov 18 19:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I managed to add $1800 in repo fees and three months of not making my payments onto what he owes them. | Nov 18 19:51 |
| MinceR | hell, they can't even make sure the upholstery doesn't peel off | Nov 18 19:51 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: I currently drive my dad's 2001 mercury grand marquis | Nov 18 19:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Good. Fuck him. He caused a disaster for me. | Nov 18 19:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He doesn't deserve to walk away with my furniture and my car and shit without getting some sort of punishment. | Nov 18 19:51 |
| danielp3344 | Crown vid is nice but traction is hilariously bad | Nov 18 19:52 |
| danielp3344 | vic* | Nov 18 19:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yes, it was. It was terrible to drive in the winter. | Nov 18 19:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sometimes it would rain and my tires spun out. | Nov 18 19:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But I liked it anyway. | Nov 18 19:52 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: My brother almost killed both of us in that car lol | Nov 18 19:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I had to put a lot of repairs into this Impala. | Nov 18 19:53 |
| danielp3344 | He turned left onto a highway, floored it and did a really sharp lane change to the right | Nov 18 19:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | How many people are glad to say there was hail that hit their car and the insurance company totaled it out so they could get half of the repairs it needed done. :) | Nov 18 19:53 |
| danielp3344 | he got into the right lane and realized the rear wheels were still going right | Nov 18 19:53 |
| danielp3344 | So he yanked the wheel to the left way too hard, causing the front half to lose traction too | Nov 18 19:53 |
| danielp3344 | We spun a full 180, floated across both lanes at 50mph while staring at the oncoming traffic before slowly spinning back around | Nov 18 19:54 |
| danielp3344 | certain people are just not qualified for oversteer | Nov 18 19:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It runs great. It has some small dents. I told my mechanic it was totaled. He said, "That's totaled.". I said yeah. He said, "What happened?". I said, "You see these little dings here?". He goes. "Yeah.". "I said those little things were a $2,000 check from the insurance people.". | Nov 18 19:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, yeah, it's a rear wheel drive car with no ABS/Traction Control system. (The Crown Vic.) | Nov 18 19:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It oversteers! | Nov 18 19:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sometimes, it's a feature, not a bug. | Nov 18 19:56 |
| danielp3344 | I did the exact same thing once and it was no big deal to correct | Nov 18 19:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You can turn the car completely around with one finger and very little effort. | Nov 18 19:56 |
| danielp3344 | But my brother doesn't really 'get' handling with low traction | Nov 18 19:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I used to amuse myself on the highway with it when I got bored. | Nov 18 19:57 |
| danielp3344 | My firebird is RWD but stays glued to the road really well | Nov 18 19:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's play with the wheel a bit and make the car rock back and forth. :) | Nov 18 19:57 |
| danielp3344 | and the brakes are really nice | Nov 18 19:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'd | Nov 18 19:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Daniel Peterson: Eh, Ford brakes. | Nov 18 19:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You'll lose brake lines like crazy when it gets old. | Nov 18 19:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Just have them replace them ALL while you're in there. | Nov 18 19:58 |
| danielp3344 | lmao yes | Nov 18 19:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Combines the labor for the bleeding part. | Nov 18 19:58 |
| danielp3344 | My truck is an 87 f150 | Nov 18 19:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I kind of want to see Ford and GM merge. | Nov 18 19:59 |
| danielp3344 | still doing brakes | Nov 18 19:59 |
| danielp3344 | I got the front ones going though | Nov 18 19:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then we can finally have a car that leaks everything (GM) and blows brake lines (Ford). | Nov 18 19:59 |
| danielp3344 | And the rear drums work fine on air :P | Nov 18 19:59 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: That is so true | Nov 18 19:59 |
| danielp3344 | My car had fuel leaks for a long time | Nov 18 20:00 |
| danielp3344 | and still has a slightly leaky heater core | Nov 18 20:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mom lost a brake line on the Impala. | Nov 18 20:00 |
| MinceR | lol | Nov 18 20:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, she left it sitting at my Grandma's house between 2010 and 2014. | Nov 18 20:01 |
| MinceR | Fix Or Replace Daily | Nov 18 20:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The mechanics had to do a bunch of work just to make it run again. | Nov 18 20:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She lost 3 brake lines from lot rot. | Nov 18 20:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then this year, she lost another one bringing the car to me. | Nov 18 20:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So, I asked my mechanic to look at them and he says they're all good. | Nov 18 20:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Oddly, the Crown Vic isn't unreliable at all. And it's dirt cheap to keep fixed, even at the shop. | Nov 18 20:02 |
| danielp3344 | ^ | Nov 18 20:03 |
| MinceR | are brake lines redundant? | Nov 18 20:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I lose two upper ball joints and the car started squeaking, so I rolled into the shop and had them replaced. | Nov 18 20:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Total bill came to $190. | Nov 18 20:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The engine purred like a kitten on almost any kind of oil you wanted to use. | Nov 18 20:04 |
| danielp3344 | I never let anyone else work on my cars | Nov 18 20:04 |
| danielp3344 | <DaemonFC[m] "The engine purred like a kitten "> but it still makes a solid 220hp | Nov 18 20:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The 3800 Buick V6 has a distinct preference for Mobil 1, it seems. | Nov 18 20:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It gets noisy on Valvoline or Pennzoil. | Nov 18 20:05 |
| danielp3344 | I always run the cheapest oil I can find | Nov 18 20:05 |
| danielp3344 | and change it really often | Nov 18 20:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I used Quaker State on the Crown Vic, ran great, Valvoline, ran great, Motorcraft, ran great, no name bulk oil from the shop in Rogers Park, ran great. | Nov 18 20:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It seems you really can't go too wrong. | Nov 18 20:06 |
| danielp3344 | I want to rebuild the firebird engine for boost. But once the engine's out of the car its going to be at least $1000 before I put it back in | Nov 18 20:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, the 4.6 V8 in the Crown Vic feels seriously overpowered. | Nov 18 20:06 |
| danielp3344 | It's due for a rebuild at 215k | Nov 18 20:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's the torque! | Nov 18 20:06 |
| danielp3344 | But I want to DD it too.. | Nov 18 20:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But that's fine. I like overpowered engines with lots of torque. | Nov 18 20:07 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: yeah, I just wish it was a stick | Nov 18 20:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My Crown Vic only had 114,000 on it when I gave it to mom. | Nov 18 20:07 |
| danielp3344 | Having 1st gear last all the way to 50 mph is really too long | Nov 18 20:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The intake manifold finally failed and it lost another brake line. | Nov 18 20:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Seriously, if you have a Ford, get all of them replaced at once. Can't say this enough. | Nov 18 20:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Losing a brake line will be an annual event if you do not replace them all at once when the thing is roughly 15 years old. | Nov 18 20:08 |
| danielp3344 | It does make a beautiful sound though | Nov 18 20:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's 6 of them. | Nov 18 20:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What? The brake pedal hitting the floor or running into whatever's in front of you at the moment? | Nov 18 20:09 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: 1st gear at 50mph | Nov 18 20:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, the good thing about the Impala, MinceR, and every car has its ups and downs. | Nov 18 20:09 |
| danielp3344 | Mine doesn't have a tach but sound like a solid 5500 | Nov 18 20:09 |
| danielp3344 | sounds* | Nov 18 20:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Dual Master Cylinder means that when you lose a brake line, yeah, get off the road and call a tow truck.... | Nov 18 20:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But you shouldn't lose all braking power immediately. | Nov 18 20:10 |
| MinceR | lol | Nov 18 20:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That tends to happen on a Ford. | Nov 18 20:10 |
| MinceR | losing brake lines every year is "reliable"? damn, i've been spoiled with japanese cars :> | Nov 18 20:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You'll lose about half your braking power and the brake light will come on if you lose one line on an Impala. | Nov 18 20:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: They just get old and rot. If you have a Ford, replace them all. | Nov 18 20:11 |
| MinceR | ic | Nov 18 20:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It'll never be an issue again. | Nov 18 20:11 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: Yeah I love Japanese cars | Nov 18 20:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The main cause of brake line failure..... | Nov 18 20:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Is people being cheap SOBs and not flushing the brakes every 2 or 3 years. | Nov 18 20:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They probably wouldn't fail at 25 if people flushed the brakes every few years. | Nov 18 20:12 |
| danielp3344 | Why can't we have stainless brake lines? | Nov 18 20:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's a closed system. If water or contaminants start floating around in the brake fluid, they fail from the inside out. | Nov 18 20:12 |
| danielp3344 | newer crown vics have stainless fuel lines, and they pretty much never rust | Nov 18 20:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I wish I knew how I kept getting gas line freezes . | Nov 18 20:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It was a problem on the 1995 Taurus. | Nov 18 20:14 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: water | Nov 18 20:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It seems like the Impala has it too. | Nov 18 20:14 |
| danielp3344 | Where do you live? | Nov 18 20:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, but how? I checked the seal on the gas cap. | Nov 18 20:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It looks good. | Nov 18 20:14 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: well, there's still air in the gas tank | Nov 18 20:14 |
| danielp3344 | and it has water in it | Nov 18 20:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Illinois | Nov 18 20:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Up near Wisconsin. | Nov 18 20:15 |
| danielp3344 | also ethanol makes gas absorb a lot of water | Nov 18 20:15 |
| danielp3344 | If you replace the fuel filter it should help keep water out | Nov 18 20:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, they say that, but HEET is just ethanol. | Nov 18 20:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some slick oil company guy made the whole "ethanol will freeze your gas lines" bullshit up. | Nov 18 20:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because they want to scare people away from using the stuff. | Nov 18 20:15 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: yeah, HEET absorbs water so it can pass through the system without causing as many problems | Nov 18 20:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If it freezes your gas lines, why is HEET ethanol? | Nov 18 20:16 |
| danielp3344 | ethanol will not freeze your lines, but it is very hygroscopic | Nov 18 20:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The more ethanol you get in your gas, the less likely the line is to freeze. | Nov 18 20:16 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: no | Nov 18 20:16 |
| danielp3344 | ethanol will absorb any water near it, gasoline will not | Nov 18 20:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm running the car on E15 now. | Nov 18 20:17 |
| danielp3344 | as ethanol absorbs water its freezing point is raised | Nov 18 20:17 |
| danielp3344 | I do like ethanol, its a great octane booster | Nov 18 20:17 |
| danielp3344 | But you do have to be careful of water | Nov 18 20:17 |
| MinceR | many people like ethanol :> | Nov 18 20:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, the car runs better on it. | Nov 18 20:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's got 264,000 miles and no amount of PEA cleaner is going to get all that crap out of it. | Nov 18 20:17 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: vodka :P | Nov 18 20:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So there's probably a little more compression in the cylinders than there was originally. | Nov 18 20:18 |
| MinceR | yeah | Nov 18 20:18 |
| danielp3344 | Always wondered if you could make vodka strong enough to be a drink and an octane booster :P | Nov 18 20:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My mechanic suggested mid-grade gas. I've been using E15 instead. | Nov 18 20:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't want to pay 20 cents more per gallon for 88 octane. | Nov 18 20:19 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: no flex fuel right? | Nov 18 20:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nope. It's a 2003 though, so the EPA says E15 should be fine. | Nov 18 20:19 |
| danielp3344 | running a tank of E85 will clean tons of stuff out, but it'll run worse than you thought possible if its not tuned for it | Nov 18 20:19 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: use some seafoam | Nov 18 20:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Eh, they say that. | Nov 18 20:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I had a 1995 Taurus that was falling apart around me anyway. | Nov 18 20:20 |
| danielp3344 | spray a whole can in the brake booster and rev the thing as high as it'll go | Nov 18 20:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Other than the Check Engine light being on for the last 50,000 miles, I ran it on E85. | Nov 18 20:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And it was okay. | Nov 18 20:20 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: trust me, I've done it lol | Nov 18 20:20 |
| danielp3344 | not pretty | Nov 18 20:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I cleared the code and put gasoline in and sold it for $1,000. | Nov 18 20:20 |
| danielp3344 | on high performance engines it'll just lean out and melt pistons instantly | Nov 18 20:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They say ethanol is highly corrosive, yada yada, but the 1995 Taurus was not a FFV and ran okay on it for quite some time. | Nov 18 20:21 |
| danielp3344 | ethanol only eats a few very specific things | Nov 18 20:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | aluminum, for one | Nov 18 20:22 |
| danielp3344 | IIRC magnesium, aluminum and natural rubber | Nov 18 20:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But the Vulcan was cast iron like any decent engine is. | Nov 18 20:22 |
| *danielp3344 suddenly realizes he has one aluminum fitting on his fuel pump | Nov 18 20:22 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | These aluminum head engines are terrible. | Nov 18 20:22 |
| danielp3344 | dang | Nov 18 20:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They don't even shed that much weight off the vehicle. | Nov 18 20:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 20 pounds maybe on a V6. | Nov 18 20:23 |
| danielp3344 | bbl | Nov 18 20:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You might get better gas mileage. | Nov 18 20:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | God help you if the engine overheats. | Nov 18 20:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Aluminum is easier to warp than cast iron. | Nov 18 20:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So an overheat is more likely to do serious damage. | Nov 18 20:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Quality, on the whole, has gone down, and still BMW manages to be loads worse than anyone except FIAT and Mercedes. | Nov 18 20:24 |
| MinceR | :> | Nov 18 20:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | FIAT sales in the US have gotten so bad they might not even sell them here anymore. | Nov 18 20:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I wonder what model of car some airhead blonde who wants to drive an Italian clown car will go for next. | Nov 18 20:26 |
| MinceR | they could go for something worse: a mini | Nov 18 20:26 |
| MinceR | german clown car with british brand | Nov 18 20:26 |
| MinceR | or a "smart" | Nov 18 20:26 |
| MinceR | german clown car | Nov 18 20:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mandy looked at me the other day when someone in a FIAT got in front of me and went up the exit ramp very slowly. | Nov 18 20:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm like "God damn it, get that piece of junk out of my way.". | Nov 18 20:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: You know it's a European car when the first time it goes through the car wash, you lose the rear window wiper arm and possibly a bumper. | Nov 18 20:27 |
| MinceR | lol | Nov 18 20:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Someone reviewed the local car wash. | Nov 18 20:28 |
| MinceR | automatic car washes don't seem to be recommended anymore | Nov 18 20:29 |
| -->TheCreeper2 (~TheCreepe@unaffiliated/thecreeper) has joined #techrights | Nov 18 20:29 | |
| MinceR | and indeed i got better service at a manual one | Nov 18 20:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They said that the bumper fell off of the FIAT in front of them and they hit their brake, but the roller pushed their Dodge truck over it, lodging the FIAT bumper into the wheel wells of their truck, then the car behind them ran into the back of the truck. | Nov 18 20:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My sides were splitting. | Nov 18 20:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I shouted "Hat trick!". | Nov 18 20:29 |
| MinceR | lol | Nov 18 20:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: But that wasn't the best part. | Nov 18 20:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The bonus was that the car wash owner wouldn't let them have the security camera footage and won't return phone calls. | Nov 18 20:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I still go there though. | Nov 18 20:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They do a really good job on the Impala. | Nov 18 20:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They took a picture of the bumper in their wheel well. | Nov 18 20:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I don't really want to go to the other wash in the middle of winter. | Nov 18 20:35 |
| MinceR | next time fit the entire fiat in the wheel well | Nov 18 20:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I had to last winter in Fox Lake because the gas pump splashed the side of my Kia. | Nov 18 20:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The good news was I didn't have to pay for the car wash. | Nov 18 20:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It got so cold that the nozzle broke and was spraying water everywhere without putting quarters into the machien. | Nov 18 20:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But when I pulled up I saw flames shooting into the sky and it caught me by surprise because I didn't know there was a small refinery behind the car wash. | Nov 18 20:37 |
| MinceR | lol | Nov 18 20:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Since the machine was broken and just stayed on without any money, I sprayed my car down with the soap setting for like 20 minutes, getting every nook and cranny. :P | Nov 18 20:37 |
| MinceR | maybe it was a small oil rig | Nov 18 20:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oh, I went nuts with it since it wasn't shutting off and was giving me all the free soap I wanted. | Nov 18 20:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was laughing. | Nov 18 20:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Normally, I pull in and I'm not looking to spend more than $5 or so, total. | Nov 18 20:39 |
| MinceR | https://apina.biz/111352.gif?mode=sfw | Nov 18 20:39 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-http://apina.biz/111352.gif | Nov 18 20:39 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I skip rinse and just go straight to soap. | Nov 18 20:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I use the Citgo car wash sometimes. | Nov 18 20:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It gives you a 20 cent per gallon gas discount if you buy the $10 wash. | Nov 18 20:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, it's a gimmick. | Nov 18 20:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I have a 18 gallon tank, so even if I filled it up from E, I would only get $3.60 off the gas. | Nov 18 20:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've never had a Ford leaking oil. | Nov 18 20:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Every GM engine I've seen leaks oil at some point. | Nov 18 20:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Really bad gaskets. | Nov 18 20:43 |
