I'm A Homebody

I wasn't planning on going anywhere today but my car broke down and I'm upset that I can't leave if I wanted to. 😐🏡👎🚙

Argh, car problems are the worst. I will be forking over 500 bucks this week just for maintenance! No friends to call?

@uncalled4 for maintenance? What's being done?
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
@iamnikki Front brakes, unibelt, air filter, oil change, take off snow tires.

@uncalled4 expensive. I always wondered if folks up north had special tires but I never asked for not wanting to be labeled "stupid" so thanks. Now i know they do.

@iamnikki Yep. What does your car need?

@uncalled4 i got a purge valve replaced weeks ago. Check engine light went off. Now its back on and my car shut off twice. I was attempting to goto the grocery story but didn't make it. The reader machine says the same part is the problem

@iamnikki Sounds like your mechanic fixed the effect and not the cause. Good thing you have the reader. Only time you're really screwed is when it's the ECM itself.

@uncalled4 i don't know. He fixed two purge valves. I dont know the difference. When it cut off, the oil signal came on. So there's a leak somewhere. I thought one of the purge valves was supposed to fix that.

@iamnikki Shit. Oil lights scare me to death. Did you touch base with the guy?
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@uncalled4 no. He just had a surgery after he fixed my car, about 2 weeks ago..

@iamnikki Geez. Maybe try someone else. At least you're home. I once had my starter fail on my way to a gig with the car full of drums. That was no picnic.

@uncalled4 right.bi may have to

@iamnikki Well, good luck! Hope you're back on the road soon. ;)

@uncalled4 Thank you
