I think I'mma have to go spend like $120 on another emergency starter battery pack and cross my fingers cuz I have tried multiple times to jump that car in the past couple days and have never been able to even set up because of through-traffic being extremely impatient/aggressive

Edit or take the battery out and use your jumper cables with the battery on the ground but that's a little riskier to the battery and won't tell you if it's dead by testing it too satanic splash-back fucked around with this message at 23:23 on May 3, 2023 |

Driving anything old nowadays is a literal gamble with your life, thanks everyone else! I didn't think so much about it until a brother ended up with permanent neck damage a few months ago from being unfortunate enough to be the last person in line to stop (the suv behind did not)

The stator on my motorcycle broke last year and I kept riding it until it finally was drawing more power than it was putting out and I had my bike lose spark while doing 100 kph on the highway, there were some warnings right before it was about to stall so I was able to pull over safely. I phoned my girlfriend to bring the trickle charger and a screwdriver the we went to the nearest town and I found an outlet to plug the battery in. We ate lunch while it charged and went back to the bike then I rode straight home.

I had my heater control valve go out during morning rush-hour traffic going home up a big 55mph hill in 2020 and man, that was scary as poo poo. Just all of a sudden no power, no revs, engine trying to choke itself out, and a whole bunch of cars ignoring hazard lights with no good spot to pull over. I had to tow it, but it finished off my "replace all this basic poo poo connected to the engine that's 21 years old," project that I was doing. Bit more expensive than the rest of that project, though lol

There's actually a reasonable chance if the battery doesn't hold charge one of the plates has collapsed inside and it won't hold charge again since it's not a complete circuit. you could check it with a multimeter if you have one, I forget how to do it safely because it is a complete battery still it could fry your meter if you're not careful.

I'm sure the battery still holds charge, it just hasn't been driven in a month and I just wanted this to be less work than it's gonna end up being

Sorry I think I mis-interpreted the problem here. edit: Charles Bukowski posted:Cars are such a pain in the rear end also this, modern cars are such a piece of poo poo to deal with it's unreal just because of how much metal they try to save by making the engine bay as cramped and shittily laid out as possible. my dads van we could literally fix all the engine problems ourselves, modern cars it's like "oh, you wanted to tighten the aux belt slightly? Sorry that's under 145 bits of plastic that need a special tool to remove, and I hope you have a socket wrench that's 1mm thick!, Please give us £783 and we'll do it for you though sometime in the next 3 weeks" Drone_Fragger fucked around with this message at 00:56 on May 4, 2023 |

Thread is loving dead. Where's the OP? Church? Finally made it to Shlong Kong. Smoking a Shlong Bong with King Kong. I'm in a Sheraton near the airport which is in the "burbs" and there's nothing to walk to or cool fetus dumpling stands or single room brothels and the 7-11 literally closes at 11 like a loser so I'm watching south east asia TLC with the family and there's a show called I LOVE A MAMA'S BOY and they've dubbed it into Can'tanese for some reason. If xvideos works, in the lounge later, I'm gonna look up "BIG BUTTS" cuz I ain't seen a big butt in a minute!!!
