This thread is about cars, what you drive, what you know, what you can fix, and most directly, if you can help me fix an issue.
My AC does not work. I curently drive a 1990 Mercury Sable because even though I make a lot of money, I also am trying to clear every last dollar of my debt and the car gets me from the house to the bus park & ride, where I catch a bus to work every day.
However, summer is coming up, and with no AC I am doomed to several months of sweating my ass off in my car every day. This was already a problem when I bought the car, and I don't know if it's just out of freon or if the storage system has a crack in it.
Please help me. How can I find out if my freon storage is cracked or if I just need a freon recharge?
In any case, if I can survive a summer in Texas without AC, you'll live. Just roll down all the windows and smash out the windshield to get that extra breeze going.
Well, you could try to have it filled with freon. If it all leaks out and kills some baby seals, then you know you're looking at a crack.
Go to the library, get a chilton's manual, and crawl under the car and try to trace the AC system, I guess. Or go to a real life human being who actually knows something about this.
It probably needs to be recharged. As far as I know though, they won't be using Freon anymore and you'll have to convert to the new style unless yours has been converted already. Unless you can find a mechanic around who happens to have a tank of freon kicking around and has looser morals.
Cars are awesome. I love my car. I specially like revving the engine really loud in the vicinity of bicycles and pedestrians. Keeps them on their toes.
Ive got a 2001 Nissan Altima, blown out speakers which I hope to replace over the summer. NOthin special. Just figured Id mention my little piece of normalicy.
My car hasn't had air conditioning for ten years. Something about Honda not making antique parts prevents it from getting fixed.
And Weaver, aren't you a vet? Shouldn't you be able to nut up and deal with not having air conditiong? I've driven my car for four years without AC in a piece of the world that I'm certain is hotter than yours, and I have somehow managed.
With that said, I cannot wait to get a new car. I hear they've started to make them with CD players and sun roofs that don't leak every time it rains.
The ability to deal with being uncomfortable and the ability to deal with insane amounts of pain does not mean that is my prefered method of traveling through life you fucking retards.

a mechanic can usually tell you what's wrong with it for free
No they charge $100 to tell what they need to fix, and then charge at least $1500 for that
Also I now co-lease a 06 VW Passat.
What the hell, that's almost as bad as here.
Filthy lies.

Oh, and never stop driving.
Yeah but it's only for a few days out of the year and then it goes back into the 80's.
go to a better mechanic
a lot of them do free questions and a quick looky-loo

Nah, just joshing, I drive a big white car that gets like 10 miles to the gallon and I use it to drive over babies and the handicapped.

Is there any truth to these rumors?

i thought he meant veterinarian when he said vet and i was confused

Not nearly.
