My Car's Operation

Finally gave up and brought my car to a mechanic. You know how it goes, you become stubborn, think you can fix it yourself, realize you can't, but still keep trying, then suddenly you realize you bought the car in February and it's now May.

I'm glad i did bring it to a mechanic though. It's actually an acquantence of my mom's so he was really nice and honest with me. My car was having trouble with emmissions, so I figured the catalytic convertor was busted. The mechanic looked at my emmissions results for like... three seconds and was like, nope, these numbers mean your fuel system is messed up, and since you didn't miss by much, you probably just need to have your fuel injection system cleaned out.

So i was like oh, ok, then i'll just get some liquid fuel injection cleaner and run it for a while, and he's like, nope, that crap doesn't work. Basically he has some machine that'll clean the injectors perfectly. I still think the fuel injection cleaner in a bottle works, but it's probably more for keeping clean injectors clean then to ungunk dirty injectors.

It also doubles as a sweat box

My air conditoner is also flat dead. The air blowing out was hotter then the air coming from the windows. It was as if the air conditioner was just like eff it, just redirect some exhaust fumes into the car... he won't know the difference!

It's not like I didn't suspect that the air conditioner was dead, it's just that since i bought my car in the winter, i didn't really have a chance to see how dead it was. Well it's dead.

So my ten minute drive to drop the car off at the shop was the worst ten minutes this summer thus far. Even with the windows open, i felt like my life was going to end. The air that should have came in from the windows was like, nope, not goin it there, it's too hot.

You think this is a topic title, but it's really the end
