She's a little rough around the edges, but that's okay because I'm in familiar territory now. I know what to expect. The Civic was plain, reliable, a work horse. It was the Frau Bleucher in my stable, the one you know you can count on. But it's not what I need. Deep down inside, I know that I need someone to spit on me, make me bleed and cry, and to treat me like the emotional tampon I know I truly am.



Mechanically, it's terrifying. The engine purred when I freed the ignition switch, so I drilled it out and off I went. To find out that there's something seriously wrong with the brakes, it's only braking with one wheel right now, and only all the way down at the very bottom. I'm pretty sure that it's the right front that brakes, because if you push down hard and bottom the pedal out the right front locks, it veers, and I crap my pants. It also misfires under load, it feels like spark or fuel related. Oh, also when I fill it with water it comes out literay as fast as I can pour it in from the water pump. The tires paint marked meant it was getting towed and impounded in the morning, so I parked it in visual distance on the next block a corner over. I wonder what the owner wants to do with it.

He's not stealing them. He's adopting them.

Also, breaking into cars and moving them around the neighborhood sounds like an amazing passtime.

"My car is not where I parked it last night. No, not stolen. Just...moved. A couple houses down. Yes, I know that doesn't make sense."

14 inch, I read this entire thread while my car was getting fixed (neighbor backed into it and wrecked the front right suspension) and between my car drama and yours (by far more entertaining) I've slowly become a blossoming car nerd.

Hope you're doing well. Part of me wants to find an old Civic to do crazy things to.

Wait, are you moving cars without permission?
Don't do that.

Also, some huge percentage of abandoned cars are stolen (but may have swapped plates, so traffic can't tell) and will only have the VIN read and be returned to the rightful owner.

Dude just so you know you're not the only person (by far) that thinks doctors suck, be glad you're not a veteran dealing with the VA, they're all a bunch of fuckwits that are too lazy to look into a problem unless it's something completely obvious like a severed arm or going into cardiac arrest on the floor. Anything other than that and it's a huge PITA they don't want to bother with. So yeah, gently caress the VA and all the doctors in it. That is all.

Less time derailing into slapfights about leica's posting, more 14".

What's going on, 14? I found it hard to understand what you posted about your elbow - something about needing an appointment?

Is that something the thread can help with, maybe find some alternative doctors that take your insurance (or will accept payment in the form of oily car parts)?

I'm super intrigued by the pictures we interpreted as renegade parking patrol. Were you helping out a friend?

Oh, and how's the Gremlin?

Your parents seem like pretty cool people who would do anything they can to help you.
You should consider talking to them and perhaps getting one of them (or an alternative responsible adult) to accompany you to the GP/dermatologist appointment to support your explanation/demonstration of your symptoms. Get it sorted.
