Cars=Evil
 
Guess what everybody! My car is the spawn of Satan. I just got some oil leaks fixed but today it died on my. Now when I start it it just rattles. Isn't life great! So what I really want to know is if anyone is selling a car or can fix one that would like to help me out.
Everyone loves ninjas....

I'd help out, but I doubt you live in Ohio (lucky bastard).

Lemme know what's wrong with it, and I don't mind giving advice.

I dont know exactly whats wrong with it. The engine turns over but it doesn't start. Also it makes a clicking noise. Someone passing by said something about a rod or a chain or something bogus like that.

Car's arn't evil, they're just...expensive. could be the timing belt, could be the alternator. i dono, i didn't inherret the Car Gene (amazing, since it exists on both sides of my family).

my car, which my friends lovingly named "The Deathtrap", had so many problems. the electronic locks didnt work, so you had to manual unlock things. the driver side window wouldn't roll down. some of the trim on the driver's side door fell off, so the switch to lock the door was just this bare metal spike. the trunk smelled faintly of rotted pumpkins. the thing leaked oil like a bastard. when going around corners it would make this grinding-rubbing noise. and when you turned on the A/C it spewed firey death at you.

and amazingly, i sold it for $400. i still miss it.

well, I still haven't learned to drive yet, that really is pathetic from a certain viewoint. ( lie, anyone's but m y own)

but, seeing as the engine turns but the car doesn't start, have you checked the fuel injection system?

on second thought, don't listen to me, I don't know a damn thing about cars.

I had a similar problem with my old Jeep. Though this isn't a fix, when you turn the key, floor the gas pedal and don't let up til it starts. However, if it doesn't start after a couple seconds, stop - you could flood the engine. My ex kept trying to tap the pedal when turning the key, but it doens't work. Hopefully that'll at least get you started so you can go to the mechanic.

I tried the gas pedal thing but it didn't work. I made this post cause I'm in a really fine fix. I got fired from my old job at subway (hell's fast food restaurant) a few months ago because the manager didn't like me. I still havn't been able to find a job and I'm running low on cash. So all I have is my little '93 plymouth sundance. It's a cool little car, two door, 4 cylinder. When WHAM its . I'm glad I,m not prone to feeling bad for long periods of time because lots of bad things are happening right now. But as long as my computewr works I'll pull through. And be HAPPY about it!

If you want a good theme for your car, check out Adam Sandler's "Piece of Sh(beep)t Car" song on his What the Hell Happened to Me? CD.... It's sweet. Described what I felt like whenever I drove my piece of sh(beep)t car.

One of my friend's brothers had a car. It was an 88' ford something...it was in bad shape but still runned. It got a small dent, and the guy at the repair shop told him that it was totaled.

Bob The Mercenary 01-13-2005 10:31 PM

Well, I have a car I can sell you.

It's a 1989 BMW 525i with...
-Automatic transmission
-Leather interior (approximately three cows)
-210,000 miles (just call it "experienced")
-and a dashboard that is known to go "Matrix" on me at times (just punch it, it'll be fine)
