"Riding high..."

Feb 28, 2003 02:52

Driving home tonight from work I noticed that my 'check' engine light was on. Never in the 3 years I've owned the car has it made an appearance. Why now ( Read more... )

yeah, ya might wanna get that checked....... anonymous February 28 2003, 06:12:30 UTC

......or put a piece of electrical tape over the "check engine" light. Outta sight, outta mind !

Sorry I couldn't return your call but I didn't get the message until this morning.

So where do you work ? And what are you up to this weekend ?
I have a short paper I have to write for Sociology 2, that's about it.
Hope you got what you wanted from Bill. Let me know how things work out in that department.
luv,
joe

Re: yeah, ya might wanna get that checked....... seamusmoon February 28 2003, 12:26:06 UTC

those lights are usually set to go on after a certain number of miles.. if you go to the shop, they will most likely check your fluids, belts, & etc. then just reset the light to go on in another however-many-miles.. i'd go with the electrical tape solution unless it starts making funny noises or smells..

Re: yeah, ya might wanna get that checked....... theronin February 28 2003, 13:45:05 UTC

and in newer cars (say since '99) or so, the sole purpose of the check engine light is as an emissions warning.

Mine's a 93...for future reference, I vow never to buy less then a 00.

What is it with guys, cars, in damsels in distress? When I pulled over to check the oil, guys flocked over to assist me...

I feel pretty...and wuvved...
*grins*

TANKS,

My father's fiance's-excuse e-WIFE'S *grrr* grampy shmacked into my car over the summer...Coulda shorted 'something' out. *rolls eyes*
I never repaired that dent....instead I claimed the insurance money so as to inflate/replace my non-exsistent savings...*smirks* Con artist..jk...jk.
But-why sink any more $$ into the damn RATTLE-trap...pardon me,I exaggerate,; it's a Honda. Chances are it will outlive me!!

So, N-E-ways, where's my poem?!
;P
Not sure if Carrie made this known to you, but god-WILLING, I SHOULD be flying out by summer, if not before...I'm fairly certain introductions are in order...

Later,

A Poem? dreamwarden March 1 2003, 06:03:29 UTC

Carrie mentioned it :)

A poem for you? At 5AM with a blood alcohol level way above the legal limit? I suppose I could give it a try, but you probably deserve something when I am sober too. Don't hold this one against me please.... ;)

Angel Tears

Chisled out of eastern stone
With smooth alabaster skin and warm, dark eyes
Raven black wings, sheltering delicate form
Rain falling from those few moments she cries
A dreamer caught inside her imagination
She perches on the hearts of those fallen before her
Beautiful too, but aggressive and wholly unholy
Wishing for someone to truly adore her.

Take it to Autozone. They should be able to hook it up to a machine and tell you what's wrong. It's not all bad; at least Autozone does this for free.

lavenderskies relayed that USEFUL bit of info to me, tonight-ironically...I can rule out oil change, tune-up, and engine replacement, as I've covered those bases.
Driving short distances, I listened to the engine-not that I'm an expert-and it SEEMS to be running SMOOTHLY. 'Course, it was riding like HELL before the engine blew last year. When I asked this guy-random stranger, mind you-he played it off like what was wrong was MINOR...Whatthefuckever bud, my car died 3 days later....
Appreciate your input.

Your dad gunna be at the SEMPA con?! Tomorrow and Sun. I'll be flitting about the outfit....
Would be honored if to do a photoshoot with yo pop's, if he complies...

LATERYO,

I hope to be getting a car when I get my driver's license.

If this will make you feel better:
I bought that Victoria's Secret gift certificate yesterday.
I will try to mail it to you sometime in the upcoming week.

Hope your weekend goes well.

Re: You spin me... emildehedgehog March 2 2003, 19:21:49 UTC

Well, I hope you can go buck wild.
It's only a $50 certificate.

I am glad you are happy.
I will try to mail it to you as soon as possible.

Hope you have a good night.

Re: You spin me... blackangeltear March 2 2003, 21:50:57 UTC

$50? WOW-WEE!
50 dollars might exceed my expectations, but, then you've always exceeded mine...
And my, aren't you the generous one....
