Small Things That Makes You Proud

I woke up this morning and my car couldn't start at all. I was scared shitless for nearly an hour. :mad: I tried to push it out of the garage but it won't go on neutral because the engine needed to running and it could run because it couldn't.

I know very very little about cars and engines, so I made some calls. Luckily, my uncle(we aren't related but I've known him as uncle) came by and checked it. Told me it might be the battery because "some auto term" was still working (I forgot what that term was).

So we took the old out and went to the Sears for a new battery. I found out that I've been using a less valued type of battery required for my vehicle. We got back and installed the new battery. Guess what? my car actually run much smoother and better with the new "recommended" battery.

I've been driving for nearly 8 years now and always relied on auto mechanics to solved my car problems but this time with a help from a cool uncle, I managed to learn how to change car batteries. Plus, I liked doing it! Oil changing might be next. :D

    That's cool man, but why were you scared for nearly an hour? And why couldn't you put in neutral? The engine need not be running, but sometimes the ignition key must be turned to the 'on' position. Anyway, it's probably good that you didn't attempt to push the car out of the garage by yourself..lol...

    I was scared because I thought my precious car is damaged or something. I have it for 8 years now, it's my little baby :p. The shift handlebar won't allow me to maneuver it out of "parking" when the ignition key doesn't turn the engine on or "on" position. It reminds on "parking" until the key can run the engine or "on"
    It's a Camry by the way.

    I thought I'd try a different approach in this thread. Hope you're no longer sick..

    it was disconcerting, turned the world upside down. don't do that again haha

    i have a wicked cough and feel like i look like morticia in a trash bag. which is helping to keep people away from me at work, so i guess that's a small thing to be proud of lol do feel slightly better than yesterday though.

    See that's what I was thinking. I usually avoid the easy ones as well, but after pulling out some beastiality humor combined with a Bob Barker sexual tale I figured I would give my mind a rest for a minute or two.
