Long as my oil remains fresh I’m good
Juicy vagina keeps you running?
Indeed it do
I check the engine fairly regularly, and the mechanic says nothing’s wrong, but it still feels like it’s running kinda funny…
Perhaps it is the road that is the problem –Krishnamurti, probably
All the road is broken, my car twice broken, twice I goes mechanic, he say 500 euros. I go left, right
Tap for spoiler
I’ll buy the first person who recognizes the reference a beer
Sounds like maybe Group X?
Not really, I go to regular service checks
There is smoke coming from the engine compartment.
Giggety
I’m waiting for the light to burn out so I can stop actively ignoring it.
More like “I can’t afford to do anything about it, and the guilt tripping from that light is slowly driving me insane as I keep expecting the other (brake) shoe to drop any second now…”
My right elbow been in pain for months and can’t afford the doctor. When this happened to the left elbow I did have insurance and saw the doctor. He just said your old and that was it. Like what the fuck! No xrays no checking for anything. So even if the lights on it wouldn’t matter my doctor would just shrug and say eat better or some shit.
Think this is common how people end up with stage 4 cancer and didn’t know. Because doctors don’t fucking listen to their patients when they feel bad.
Like the mechanic handing you a $15 code reader and saying “just clear it whenever it pops up.”
Well, TBF in some cases it’s a stupidly minor thing that’s not worth the cost to fix (or even just a notification that something unimportant happened), or is something that may as well wait until something more significant needs attention because of all the labor involved.
Are we still talking about cars or back to bodies?
Not the “labor” I was referring to…
Then find a new doctor. There are plenty out there seemingly just in it for the money, but there are enough decent ones that it’s worth the hassle of going through several until you find one that actually takes your seriously. It’s definitely a needless PITA, but the end result is what matters most.
I finally went to the doctor after decades of crippling shoulder & back pain. I know how to rehabilitate it myself, but what the world won’t give me is TIME & MONEY to rehabilitate so I’m taking the official -medical-records-and-doctor’s-orders route so the government & IRS & whoever the fuck is holding me as a slave to capitalism …will grant me time & resources for physical therapy & stop buckling under this pain.
I’m at the point where fixing me is impossible and I just keep going until I break down entirely and get sold to a scrap yard
I actually used this to explain a concern of mine to my wife. We had a Subaru Forester that had some minor but expensive issue that kept the check engine light on, so we ignored it. And because of that missed something else that made the engine 'splode (not literally, just turned the SUV to SCRAP). About 8 hours from our house and two hours from the nearest rental car agency (and no trains). With our daughter in the back and me needing to be at work the next morning.
Anyway, I was talking about how everything hurts a bit, and because of that my general pain tolerance is way higher to the point I don’t notice most of the time I’m hurt. Like the check engine light on the Subaru.
I imagine cancer is going to come along and when I find out at stage four, people will wonder how I possibly could have put up with it up to that point without going to the doctor. And I’ll say I didn’t even notice it.
Some people do be like that. My grandpa went to the doctor for a checkup because of pneumonia and they told him about his heart attacks that he’d just quietly had at home.
Needless to say, he didn’t have much longer after that.
Ah, nothing a bit of electrical tape can’t fix
Ever since I turned 35. I’m not even worried about the check engine light anymore, that’s normal. A few other lights is OK too. As long as they don’t all turn on.
Yeah, turned out to be a brain tumour
I really hope you make it somehow
No worries, it was benign and I had a gamma knife operation, but it’s in a place where it can’t be surgically removed without doing damage so it’s just there.
Glad you get to stay, and witness the apocalypse with us!
I haven’t even changed the oil or gassed up in years.
I think it died, now I’m driving around as if I have unlimited gas and cocaine
Yes. Severe sleep apnea for years. Getting my CPAP for testing real soon now that I’ve been diagnosed… A third time. Long story. First time was not severe enough, second time my psycho ex said if I start sleeping with a CPAP, I better find another bed to sleep in and now I’m gloriously single and nobody can tell me to keep killing myself because the near quiet him of the CPAP is annoying.
