2022-02-22 at 7:21 PM UTC in Fona's Fucking Lancer Part III tried making ONE video of it dying and it wasn't dying very well.
Anyways, here are 3 videos mostly of me bitching but I'll include a couple timestamps.
Video 1: I assumed it would just hurry up and die but it wasn't cooperating.
At the 45 second mark I find a doughnut.
Video 2: Annoyed it won't die I drive it around my parking lot and it does cut out at the 59 second mark.
Video 3: I pop the hood and hope it dies so you can watch the engine struggle but it just keeps running like a bitch.
Im calling the muffler guy back and scheduling that back pressure test tomorrow to see if that results in any findings.
Update: in the time it has taken to upload the videos I called the muffler shop and they said they are closed tomorrow but to come in on Thursday. I'll have to check my bank account and see if I can afford to have a new cat put on Thursday or if I will have to wait until next week but either way I'm still going to go in for the free back pressure test. -

2022-02-22 at 6:03 PM UTC in Fona's Fucking Lancer Part IIAs it sits now I am in it,
$1500 - car
$70 - tags and registration
$160 - insurance
$60 - mechanic (who didn't fix it)
$1790 total. I doubt I can get that back as it sits now but insurance isn't due again for another month and $80 bet I can get it running better in that time frame is a bet I'm willing to take.
I'll throw a couple hundred bucks at it if I have to or if someone tells me the catalytic is in fact the problem and gives me a decent price I might fix it.
But in the meantime if someone came along and offered me what I paid for the car I would sell it just to get rid of it.
Going to wait until a nicer day to wash it up and take some pictures to post it for sale and whichever way this goes I'll be happy so long as I recoup most of what I have in it.
At the end of the day if I didn't buy the Lancer I would have probably spent $1500 on fucking carpet tiles or some stupid shit like that and had I invested it in the stock market I'd be out way more than just a couple hundred bucks anyways. -

Damn water keeps coming up and my apartment is prone to flooding. Not my specific apartment but the complex itself.
There is very little drainage in the parking lot and if water starts pouring into it the whole fucking lot turns into a big massive puddle. It is suppose to rain all day but I hope to leave for work before I have to go swimming to get out to my car.
I'm hungry as fuck right now and haven't ate today. My nerves got shot from driving that friggin Lancer in the rain and I'm just chilling out, drinking coffee and making things worse.
Right now I'd consider today a massive success solely because I got my car back and can work on it myself now.
Got some laundry going at the moment and getting ready to fix myself something to eat and get ready for work today.
I hope to make some more posts tomorrow when it is not raining although it will be cold again but I'll just have to deal with it. -
2022-02-22 at 5:44 PM UTC in Fona's Fucking Lancer Part IIThe youth in me tells me that since I have the time and a place to work on it that I should at least give it a shot.
I can probably fix the bumper better than zip ties and slap some used tires on it for fairly cheap.
A can of throttle booty cleaner isn't very much and not trying to fix it and just assuming it's fucked is dumb.
What is your opinion and what would you do? -

I'm not trying to save any of it. All I want to do is a patch job that allows me some more comfort being down there on my computers.
Honestly I hope that in a couple years we won't be living there. But to do that I first have to live there and start saving some money. -
2022-02-22 at 3:22 PM UTC in Fona 2-22-2022I'm going to get the Lancer today.
It's still broke and shit but whatever.
The guy said he is having trouble getting parts and has no helpers right now and that everything is taking forever.
I told him I understand and just don't really care all that much about the catalytic and just want to get rid of the car at this point unless he comes up with a quote on actually fixing it.
So I'm going to make a call and arrange a ride to go get it.
He only is charging me $60 for leaving it parked there for an entire month. -
2022-02-22 at 3:05 PM UTC in Fona 2-22-2022Happy Twosday!
I have little idea what I am doing today.
Just woke up and am drinking my coffee.
Want to go get the Lancer. I'm trying to figure out what to even do with it today if I do get it.
It's suppose to rain non-stop so I'm probably not going to go on the jog I was planning...
Might go to the liquidation outlet if I do go and get it. See if I don't happen across any treasures.
I had it in my head I was going to get up and go to my girlfriend's house and scrape paint but I don't have loads of time to spend today and probably would get there, take 1 look at it and leave.
2 loads of laundry to do on this Twosday.
Everything is pretty much whatever today and nothing is "gotta get done" serious.
Well I guess I'll call the mechanic and see about getting my car back this morning fixed or not.
I went there on Saturday and there was snow on the windshield wipers and it hadn't snowed since the Sunday before which tells me it hadn't been in his shop all week.
I just want the hunk of junk back. I don't know what I can do with it the way it is but I'd rather at least have it than not have it. -
2022-02-21 at 7:13 PM UTC in Fona 2-21-2022I just checked the forecast for tomorrow and realized that although the temperature is suppose to be nice, it is also suppose to be raining all day. Outside time or not I'd still like to step up and prove myself as responsible enough to allow my girlfriend some peace of mind.
I'd prefer to have more set up for the task but it doesn't matter because even if I had a hired staff and an expert on hand I'd still probably second guess something.
The plan is a go.
Anyways, I have to head to work in a few minutes so I'm finishing up a couple things at my apartment and going to head out the door.

2022-02-21 at 6:46 PM UTC in Fona 2-21-2022My plan for the rest of the day consists of going to work.
Grabbing something to eat on the way home.
Going to my girlfriend's house tonight and going straight to bed.
Tomorrow I'd like for her to be able to sleep in and go to work while leaving me to get up and take care of the kid so the kid doesn't have to go to the babysitter's house.
The only nice day this week besides today is going to be tomorrow and it would be kind of cool if I was able to get her kid some outside time and go ahead and get the whole being responsible for a little human thing done and over with so that I know I'm capable of doing this.
The kid's dad is not helping out this week and it is what it is. I'm not going to start talking shit about him. -

2022-02-21 at 6:25 PM UTC in Fona 2-21-2022Went and bought coolant.
Stopped at a car wash but they were out of quaters.
Went to another car wash. Got quarters. Their vacuum didn't suck which sucked and I threw it on the ground and left.
Now I'm home and hangry.
Going to fix some cheese burgers and talk to my cats about why Joe Biden is responsible for everything wrong with this country. -

This is rental property, right? Have the landlord pay for the upgrade.
No, this is the house I'm moving into.
It is paid off.
Really don't think I need to hire someone to do this part to be honest.
The only thing is I don't have the experience although there is always youtube except with the dislike button gone how am I suppose to know if it is good advice or bad advice.? -
2022-02-21 at 4:42 PM UTC in 550 square feet of fuck my dickI am NOT an electrician but after watching a couple videos and given the ease of access to everything for this job I am feeling more confident that this is something I may be able to do myself.

Originally posted by stl1 What's your electrical problem?
There are only 2 outlets in the basement and I hooked a space heater up to one of them and blew the breaker which also happened to be connected to everything in the upstairs living room, a couple outlets in the kitchen and probably other shit too.
All I wanted was a new circuit with 3 outlets spread either along the walls or ceiling spaced maybe 10 feet apart.
Just enough to hook up my computers, a tv and a space heater.
I got my first quote at $280 for a new circuit, and $180 per outlet.
The next quote was for between $1000 and $1500.
Really don't think it's even worth the first quote as everything is exposed and the breaker box is already in the basement. -
2022-02-21 at 3:43 PM UTC in 550 square feet of fuck my dickI went to buy some rugs this weekend but didn't see anything that stood out as a good deal.
Honestly wasn't trying too hard either and after checking amazon's prices I found it would probably be cheapest to buy online and get whatever I get versus wasting gas every weekend looking for clearance rugs.
Honestly I need an electrician first anyways. -
2022-02-21 at 3:22 PM UTC in Fona 2-21-2022Filled out an online application to join a new bank.
Someone will contact me in within 3 business days about it.
My rent will be due soon and Im planning on closing one of my current accounts when I go to get money out to pay rent.
I'm not sure if banks are even open today or I'd do it today. -
2022-02-21 at 3:03 PM UTC in Fona 2-21-2022The mechanic didn't answer.
Fixing crab cakes for breakfast today.
