LIFE UPDATE TIME
I GOT AN OIL CHANGE TODAY
i’ve only ever done my own oil changes (shocking, i know), but i can’t get the oil filter off myself and my grandfather can’t help me right now ((recovering from shoulder surgery)) so i just went and had it done by someone else
and i was in DIRE need of it cuz it’s been almost a year and a half since my last change - for context, the last time i got an oil change, A. I STILL LIVED IN FLORIDA, and b. it was at about 100,000 miles and my car is currently at almost 117,000 miles (you should get an oil change every 10,000 miles on full synthetic oil, which is what i use). SO IT WAS DEARLY NEEDED LMFAO.
while i was getting my oil change, the worker was like “hey did you know your rear windshield wiper blade is like. Fully torn off?” and i was like i’m gonna be Real fuckin honest with you dude, i have Never changed that, and i’m 99% sure that’s the blade that came with the car when it was first manufactured in 2015 SO. yeah can u just change it for me plz i’ll pay extra i know if i don’t do it right this second i will continue to procrastinate and it will Never Ever get done.
i also was fully expecting them to be like “hey your car is going to blow up any second” and i was gonna be like yea i know teehee im just a girl 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 BUT APPARENTLY IT’S IN PRETTY DECENT SHAPE! my transmission fluid probs needs to be changed but i’m gonna continue to put that off cuz that’s a whole fuckin. thing. and i need more air conditioner juice (aka freon), but it’s still winter-ish weather in new york so i don’t really need A/C right now. BUT OTHER THAN THAT HE’S SLAYING RN! they also replaced my windshield wiper fluid for free which was So slay of them because i’ve been out of wiper fluid for almost 5 months now and i just never bothered to put any in, i’ve just been driving around with a grimy ass windshield trying to peer thru the dirt streaks BUT WE’RE GOOD NOW! MY CAR IS IN TIP TOP SHAPE!
… oh except my fuel pump is shitting out on me ❤️ love that. I CANT BELIEVE I NEVER TOLD U THIS OMG SO MY CAR WOULDN’T FUCKIN START i think this was like???? 2 weeks ago?? maybe 3 weeks ago????
here’s the full story time:
tl;dr: car wouldn’t start, no way it can be a cold engine misfire bc that’s a BRAND NEW FUCKING BATTERY (also syracuse does not get cold enough for that to happen most of the time), and if it’s the fuel pump i may as well junk the mother fucker and get a new car bc my car H A T E S winters in new york. SO THAT WAS SUPER COOL AND NOT AT ALL STRESSFUL TO DEAL WITH. it’s been 100% fine since that btw i think it just needed to throw a hissy fit for shits and giggles, but hopefully i can squeeze another couple years out this bad boy bc i R E A L L Y don’t want a car payment it’s been SO nice having a fully paid off car.
actually u know what. i wasn’t gonna post this cuz i look ugly af but this video is too funny to not show, so here:
but yeah. sometimes he just pitches a fit for attention ❤️❤️❤️❤️ me for real.
ANYWAYS MY CAR IS HEALTHY ONCE AGAIN that’s p much the only update i have tho. i’m p dead still but i’m doin the damn thing. slowly getting my life back together lmfao.
