This is probably super easy, but I've had it in mind for a bit, and it goes out to my struggle folks

:siren:Next challenge: Post a photo of your vehicle's dash with two or more warning lights that are NOT the check engine light. Example: ABS and Airbag Warning. Warning lights you can cut on and off, like "TCS Off" warning lights do not count.

Oh, and yeah. They all come on when the key is on acc / during ignition. Doesn't count. Your shits gotta be broken. :v:

Dumb dealership left the cap loose and the fluid was sloshing out whenever I stopped.

Hmm. Brake light on my truck has been on for... oh, ten years or so, but that's the only one. I think it only has four lights? Brake, Oil, engine, and... hmm, maybe it only has three...

Battery?

It's got a volts gauge, so I'm thinking no.

just went and looked:

BRAKE
CHECK GAUGES
SERVICE ENGINE SOON
and the seatbelt light that tells you if you haven't buckled your seatbelt. Oil temp and battery volts are gauges.

e. I'm assuming the seatbelt light is one of those that you can cut on and off and therefore doesn't count

Damnit, I took the cluster apart and taped over them, but my ABS and TPMS lights are on intermittently in the Vibe because of what I assume is a faulty wheel speed sensor.

Goon call as to whether this counts as 2 separate lights, since iirc the abs automatically turns the brake light on as well.

E: assuming it counts, take a picture of your car next to its senior at least 20 years older. This can be the same model (05 civic next to an 85) or the closest equivalent in the same segment if the exact model doesn't exist (ie an 09 Focus next to a Pinto), but it must be from the same brand. Alternately, if you drive a car 97 or older, take one with its modern equivalent, again with a >20 model year gap. The older the old car is, the better.

I'd skip the Cape, the mainland is where it's at. Prices are high as gently caress, tourists are annoying, and the place basically closes in winter unless you're a junkie or scientist.

I'm going to go out again tomorrow and try harder to find one. Since in theory I can manage up to a 47 year difference on the same model I'm gonna do this challenge properly!
