  • I mean I get it. Sometimes fixing that evap leak isn’t worth it, especially given how much of a pain it can be to find the source. I’ve ignored my fair share of check engine lights.

    But a lot of it can be ignorance and/or laziness too. I fixed an airbag light once simply by disconnecting and reconnecting the wires under the seats. Apparently a weight sensor was malfunctioning but it was just a bad connection due to oxidizing wires. Took 30 seconds to fix, and an additional 5 minutes to look up the technique for clearing the code. But I’m wiling to bet that your average driver wouldn’t even think to investigate. A piece of electrical tape over the light is so much simpler.






  • This is why I only drive 90s and 2000s Asian cars. Cheap to own, cheap to repair, parts are abundant and easy to work on without needing specialized equipment.

    Plus if you enjoy driving like me, you have a huge selection of fun, reliable JDM sports cars to choose from, all under $10K.




  • No I’m not trolling you, I literally do not remember what you asked me to do. I don’t care if you asked me 30 seconds ago; I legitimately forgot and I apologize for that.

    Yes I know, I should just knock it out now before I forget again, but my low dopamine levels won’t let me. No I’m not just being lazy; you might as well ask me to move a mountain. That’s just how difficult is for me to complete the most basic of chores. It is completely out of my control, and no amount of Adderall will fix it.

    The wife and I have this argument all the time and it drives me crazy.
