Went on vacation in another vehicle, came back home to a pool of radiator fluid in my driveway under the vehicle.

It's called coolant!
You should probably just have your boyfriend handle anything auto related.

In 2015 I was the sole income earner with a pregnant wife in med school and my existing vehicle was totaled by a real estate agent Karen on I-85 and $25k was all I could afford to replace it. Why are you such an a-hole?
Vespas are very cheap and reliable. Sips gas like a weak italian man. Why not one of those?

And why would you get your wife pregnant while she’s in med school? Did she need to drop out to take care of the baby? Is that why you still drive a 2015 shite wagon?

She wanted it. She graduated on time. I drive a 2015 shite wagon because I'd rather have a nice house, lots of investments, send kid to private school, take nice vacations. Not having an expensive vehicle is one of the compromises.

It's going to cost $2000 to replace a $75 part


My mechanic must get his shop hours from Tigerdroppings. That's what he said.

I was quoted $4000 to fix the switch box at my dealer…
Sought a second opinion, it was low Freon. Only $300

A few yrs ago the AC went out in my 2010 Mazda 3.


Lost AC in my '03 Protege5.
A quick burst from can of ACPro found a leak.
A sparkplug gap tool from many years before had fallen and wedged itself between the core support and the condenser, gouging a hole in the tubing of the condenser.
New condenser from VatoZone was $100. Another can of ACPro for $30.
All in I was back to a cold AC for $160.
Still was working fine when I reluctantly sold the car with 260K on it.

Just switch to god's AC aka roll the windows down and sweat like a hooker.


We used to call that 2-50 AC. Two windows at 50 mph.

AC went out in my car. Wife took it to the shop the guy told my wife fan and resistor and would be $675 and that the resistor alone was almost $400. got both parts on amazon for $78 and took me an hour to change both.

You still got fricked on the low freon price. DIY might have been $50 tops.
