Your Car

[Adorno]

Update: car broke down after 80 km. I think the clutch broke.
Did I mention it's brand new? **** me!

At least it goes under warranty but what the **** 

 

[BenKenobi]

Maybe Adorno is just not used to a manual. Bad driving can do bad things to a clutch 

 

[Lord Brutus]

I realize you're probably joking, but there is no way 80 km of poor driving could mess up a properly constructed clutch.  That is not even General Motors level of incompetence.

 

[Harkon Haakonson]

Brute, I think you meant Mexico Motors
****, talk about bad luck. You may have broken some Guinness record!

 

[Krik]

That is not even General Motors level of incompetence.

All the American car companies are pretty incompetent depending on the car you're looking at. You don't have such hit and miss reputations with Toyota or Subaru or Honda.

 

[Adorno]

Pretty sure it's the clutch. Engine worked but car didn't move.
The guy towing the car had a good laugh when he heard the story. That was a first for him 

 

[Lord Brutus]

I had an interesting experience of my own with a new car, thankfully not my car.  A corporate VP had come from HQ to check the goings-on in our own little corner of the world.  He arrived driving a brand new BMW 530, I believe it was.  After an hour or so of a seriously boring meeting, someone relayed that a car was on fire in the parking lot.  Poor man's new BMW had self-destructed.

 

[El Perro Finlandese]

Never buy a brand new car. That's the lesson.

Maybe his driving is really the worst.

Hey there fellas, I'm looking for a screwdriver for these two unique screws. It's for Acura remote controller, even the Honda dealership said they've never seen screw like that before.

 

[Seff]

I doubt that Adorno doesn't know how to drive stick, seeing as it's mandatory in Denmark. He will get a warranty replacement, and hopefully be off for many uneventful kms.

Mandalorian: You need to google screw bits and shop around until you find that particular one.

My car has 322000 km on it (Honda), and the only thing that is not working is its remote controller. It drives so smooth people thinks that it only has 200000 km on it.

I've found these two but not sure

[Mandalorian]

I might also just go with buying a used remote controller

But would it work though?

Yeah that's the kind of stuff you usually hear about Hondas. There are reliable American vehicles, my truck has around 500,000km/320,000mi and is only just now starting to give me real problems. But then my moms 2008 HHR is plagued with electrical problems, has had 2 recalls, and it's got less than half the miles on it.

 

[Seff]

Those look like hex wrenches. Hex is six-point. Your controller screw has five points, doesn't it?

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

I got a new* car. It's like my old blue Mazda, only it's red, and it has 5 doors instead of three.

I don't have a pic but will try to take one tomorrow if I get time.


*slightly newer, still second-hand
