My car

Why are the computers that set off the warning lights so goddamned sensitive?

My "check engine" light came on 2 weeks ago, so I took it to get looked at. The mechanic said it needed a lube job and new spark plugs, so I went along with that.

Yesterday, the "check engine" light came on again. I took it back to the same place, and this time, they didn't know what was causing it...just gave me a spiel about how "the computer in the car is so sensitive it can set off the warning light for no reason."

Now, I have my doubts about this mechanic shop anyway, but that belongs in another rant. I'm still angry at my car, because a year ago, I had the same problem with the "check engine" light going off for no damn reason at all - and since I didn't live here then, obviously I took it to a different mechanic. So it's the car, not the shop.

Also, the visors in the front of the car both broke off when the car was only 2 years old. I never had that happen with any other car I've owned, and I once had one that was 14 years old. The visors in this one were attached with cheap plastic. In case you're wondering, the car is a 2000 Chevy Prizm. If you have the same car, WATCH OUT!

I don't understand why the things people are supposed to have like car insurance and registration, and health coverage are too fucking unaffordable anymore. I went to register my older no frills barebones car and walked away with an empty wallet. Forget health insurance, that money goes to insure my crappy car which by the way needs to go to the "doctor" for a $300+ repair my fancy insurance doesn't pay for. Fuck!

You need insurance in case you run down some little old lady with a lawyer for a son in-law.

I am sick and tired of these god damn things infesting every city street, country road, parkway, and thoroughfare in this nation! Why the hell do you need them for?! Huh? You know. If you lived in someplace like Manitoba, Utah, rural Vermont, the rural Midwest/South and the Arctic I can clearly understand. But New York City, Los Angeles and mainstream Suburbia? Let me make this perfectly clear. "You don't need all that excess weight, 4-wheel drive, brush guards, etc. You're not going to encounter 5-ton boulders, ford rivers, climb dangerous mountainous inclines while you haul groceries and your spoiled demon spawn from soccer practice all right unless you live in Alaska! Damn! They rollover in a sharp turn. They are a safety hazard on the Interstates, as one has difficulty seeing around them. They are usually driven by reckless yuppie control freaks who multitask behind the god damn wheel at 80 mph! What's worse is the unavoidable fact that many of them get less than 18 miles per gallon! No wonder why we have to pay fucking $2.42 for regular gas. "Hey a station wagon would do just as good of a job, pal!" They should either be outlawed entirely or sold to markets that actually take them off-road!

This posting is what we call a "Target Rich Environment". ;)
However we will be nice and just note that only 40% of crude production actually goes into producing fuels for automotive devices. The rest goes into non-transportation uses.

i HATE getting stuck behind these stupid, insufficient, slow-moving, shit-picking pieces of CRAP. the only assholes in miami who even bother to drive them are the sniveling, cheap-ass little fucktards who can't seem to handle an accelerator. it seems like anytime i'm in a hurry to get somewhere, at least 50 of those fucking scrapheaps jump in front of me & slow me down on the bloody interstate. anytime i see one on the road, i feel the strong urge to blow the damned things up w/ a fucking bazooka. as for the drivers, they can rot in the blackest pits of hell & get sodomized by pitchforks.

Car Alarms 5

What is the point of these damned things? No one ever thinks, "hey a car is getting stolen" They go off all the time when there's no threat. My neighbor's piece of shit car alarm has been going off sporadically since last night & I'm sleep deprived. That varying 4 toned one is the worst. The mother fucker who invented that needs to be locked in a cell & continually deprived of his/her sleep by the "invention."

I am angry that I accidentally hit a coworker's car last night while leaving work. He told me that everything was OK because he only paid $600 for the car.

He won't let me be responsible and pay for the damages, and I hate that all my coworkers think I'm a joke now.

It was only a mistake! I can clean up my messes! Stop degrading me!
