Car's going to be ready in the morning. Wallet less so.
So random question. The HHR gear shifter goes: P R N D I L
What the heck is I? I'm assuming L is low gear, 2nd most likely. Went out for 40-45 miles in it today. It's not nearly as horrible as I expected. The only problem I personally have with it is the pedals are in a funny position for the size of my feet. Maybe I'm just not used to them, but it was actually tiring to drive. Steering is hilariously light though. I palm the Passat and this is just lulz. I haven't driven an American car in
years.
Hum, perhaps something could be worked out there.
THIS really pisses me off, especially since the headlight bulbs go all the freaking time.
Park, Reverse, Neutral Drive,
Interesting low.
Maybe it has a seperate interesting mode. :lol:
Ah the joys of over boosted american power steering. Makes it so much easier to talk on the phone, drink your double big gulp, text, put on your makeup and eat a hot dog at the same time.
I am going to give you my standard cautionary audi speech. I give this too people all the time at work when they are looking at an Audi or I even think they are looking at an Audi.
Kind of late for you cause you already bought one but I will give it anyway.
Back before my wife and I got married she had this Audi 100 which really wasn't a bad car. It had made it 200,000 some miles and got good mileage. It had horribly uncomfortable seats though. God they were so bad.
This was in the early 2000s so the 100 had been out of production for about 10 years.
So the coolant expansion tank starts leaking. It has a crack where the outflow tube exits at the bottom. I call up the local Audi dealer and tell them I need a wholesale price on a part. We have never bought parts from that dealer before because in VA we don't work on a whole lot of Audis. The closest dealer was about an hour away.
I don't have an account of course so I give him my reseller number and he looks up the price as I get out my CC to pay for it. How much can it possibly be? It is a hollow bit of plastic about the size of my fist so a couple hundred bucks tops... :lol:
He gets me back on the line ok that will be 780 dollars.
meL Uh I said wholesale price jobber price man remember.
Him: That is a jobber price retail is $1185
Holy crap.....
I told him he could keep his part.
I ended up fixing the tank with the highest temp epoxy I could find and a length of PVC pipe just a little smaller then the outflow tube port.
That worked for about another year till the motor finally let go.
