Doesn't matter as he can't afford to fix it and I'll have to anyways.
He just lost his beat up old pickup truck because the drive shaft fell out which would have only cost whatever a could u-bolts go for these days but now that it is towed off it is too late.
I replaced so much on my GTP but I also drove it like an absolute jackass.
Who is this that you're being cucked into paying for now? -

Fucking wrong gas in it and probably a shitty old battery unable to put out in the cold weather or maybe its just a lemon.
Im going to go check it out tomorrow and look at it and hopefully fix it.
Somehow I am going to have to talk common sense into the guy and tell him that if the car is a lemon we need to get it running again and just sell it now and hopefully get our money back and just try again.
Here is the car.
Should have let us get the Buick with 70k miles instead and not a 180k mile after market rims special.

I wouldn't let the person who isn't paying for it have any say.
Sounds like a nigger or white trash anyways. -
2022-01-08 at 4:29 AM UTCI am really hoping its nothing.
Tomorrow morning Im going to call him and ask what it was running like when he parked it.
I'll know when I get there if he was bullshitting me on the phone and if he lets me freeze my dick off troubleshooting it instead of just coming clean and saying he got a little too happy with the gas pedal Im going to be pissed and not help him anymore with anything.
Let me find out it was 10 degrees outside and he was driving it like a jackass and blew the motor in a day... -
2022-01-08 at 6:10 AM UTCIt doesn't pay to try to help people anymore man. You give them an inch and they take a mile.

2022-01-08 at 6:25 AM UTCthat's when you give them the rest of the inches

It's a good thing Im not trying to get paid to help him then isn't it.
I do want him to have a running car though and it is what it is today.
Hopefully I can make it over and take a look at it this afternoon and find out it is a simple fix. -
2022-01-08 at 2:09 PM UTCYou keep saying "wrong gas" like putting 87 in is really going to cause it not to start.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2022-01-08 at 2:22 PM UTCBlaming the gas is a newbie mechanic mistake.
Whenever the mechanic says it's a bad gas problem I know he's wrong.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2022-01-08 at 2:25 PM UTCYep. My Passat technically takes 93 octane, but the gas station in town only sells 87 so it runs 87 75% of the time.
Same with my Caprice. It technically takes premium because it's too old to process the ethanol, but if the 37 year old gas gauge says its' getting low I'm putting 87 in to get me to the proper gas. And that's only because carbs legit won't work right with the wrong type of gas and the ethanol will make the float stick.
