Get me to a dealer.

Fix the powertain.

I can't control my steering.

My spark plugs? Oil-stained.

My transmission is seizing.

I start to hydroplane.

Oh no, no, no, no, nooo...

That's beautiful and describes my car. The clutch is still good but probably will fail in about 10-15k miles. The front drive tire needs to be replaced and does hydroplane. It currently needs an oil change. LOL

Ride it until the wheels fall off; or, replace the clutch? Is that even possible nowadays?

backslashdotcom OP t1_j8lawb5 wrote

Funny you said ride it until the wheels fall off. My mechanic said that as much as he likes taking my money, he told me to stop repairing it and just drive it until the wheels fall off. That was over 20k miles ago. Trust me, I've been trying. I still get 28-32mpg. As for the clutch, yeah it can be easily replaced which I will most like do.

That's hilarious. The first time I heard that phrase was from a neighbor who is a mechanic. I can do the basics and I love cars, but I'm by no means an expert.

Keep on keeping on. It sounds like you know what you're doing.

Punk rock is timeless. Go down a YouTube rabbit hole and and listen to some Ramones and Sex Pistols. Perfect Valentine's Day light listening.

i didn't dv you but I haven't heard the Ramones referenced in 25+ years and that was a remake of one tune for an insurance commercial. I don't doubt that YOU know who they are.

stumblewiggins t1_j8igxpz wrote

"I understood that reference!" Is a joke from The Avengers; since Captain America has been on ice for 70 years he doesn't get most pop culture, history, etc. references that are commonplace today.

Somebody makes a reference (Wizard of Oz, maybe?) that is old enough that he does understand it, so he says that line with pride.

This looks like the dash of a Saturn Ion. It's basically the a Chevy Cobalt but we can pretend it's better because it's fun to hate on Chevy. I have an 03 in the driveway now that's seen a few too many upstate NY winters.

It's a 2004 Saturn Ion sedan. I have a second 2004 Saturn Ion coupe at 150k.

Most modern vehicles can do that, IF they are maintained.

Change fluids when the manufacturer recommends it, fix little things before they become big things, and don't drive like an idiot. There are exceptions, but the majority of vehicles can do it pretty easily.
