Bought a 240 for $50 and scrapped it for $40.

Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. Every warning the car can possibly give me.

The problem? Just a computer doin' computer things.

Solution: Turn it off and turn it back on again.

If you work in IT troubleshooting, you're now qualified as a level 1 auto tech.

People really argue Haynes vs. Chilton manuals in the age of THE INTERNET.

There is a freely available high definition video breaking down every step; you don't have to make it this hard on yourself.

Have a fleet of 50+ same model Ford.
All of them, not just one or two, will randomly pop false flag error codes like "engine coolant over temperature" while driving. All 2023 models and not a single unit over 15k miles.

It's not a bad batch. It's a bad engineering department.

New dents on my truck today.
If you're the one who dented my truck:

Why did nobody ever tell me you can just replace brake bleeders with one-way check valves... why am I only learning about this now?

@Lambothirteen odometer broke @ 365k miles 15+ years ago - probably got it close to 500k with minimal maintenance

It's become such a norm to put cabin air filters in the hardest possible spots to access. Seeing this Camry with an easy access door in the back of the glovebox got me unreasonably excited.

Back to driving the Volvo.
Would be more excited if it wasn't suddenly my only running vehicle.

Ultrasonic toothbrushes are underappreciated as detailing tools.

An old Sonicare head + isopropyl alcohol will scrub away literally everything except for the sins you have committed.

Working on a new Explorer. "Steering Assist" will intermittently fail while driving if battery voltage is too low.

Literally locks the wheel in place while the vehicle is in motion. Feels fucking terrifying.

When alternator fails, you're fucked.

When I turn on my high beams, both low beams work. When I turn off my high beams, only 1 low beam works.

I spent weeks trying to figure out why.

It was a bad bulb. Idk how or why, but replacing 1 bulb solved it. I can be hella dumb sometimes.

Is there a solid argument for the price of lead-acid batteries doubling over the past decade? Lead is infinitely recyclable, and lead-acid battery recycling is one of most successful recycling programs to ever have existed.

Surely there are more elegant ways to add a camera to a side mirror. Sorry Ford, this looks goofy as hell.
