    (first problem I've had in 2 years of driving the beast)
    I've had a 14 year old German car before (Ford, but German built), and it never broke down. It did have its quirks, but it was still functioning

        Just checked on my car. It's on the garage's lot with a note attached to it explaining that I can't drive the car and that I want them to fix it for me on Monday when they open.

        Right beside my note some ***** Baltimore City meter maid left me a ****ing ticket for parking on private property.

        Thanks a lot, you ****wad.

          That sounds really weird. I can't see them ticketing you unless the property owner complained, and I can see the owner complaining if you want to be a customer.

            I left my ****ing name and number on the ****ing note, along with a request to call me in case they opened before Monday. The hood is ****ing popped (not obviously open, but popped), so if they wanted to take a look before I get there they can (note says this too). If there had been a mail slot I would have dropped a key through it too, but there wasn't. What the **** else could I ****ing do?

              I mean, the ticket's only 27$, but it ****ing is really pissing me off right now. I left the ticket under the wiper so I wouldn't get another one and walked away.

                You aren't missing anything, I know he isn' t a woman - he just acts like one in this thread

                I think that I just has worsened my chance to be removed from KH's ignore list

                    I thought I was on ignore

                    There is a repair kit that you can add to the cooler that seals smaller holes.

                      a) It's not a small hole. It's approximately the thickness of headphone wire
                      b) Those things are infamous for not working

                        If I get a patch I want it to be a soldered patch, not a piece of resin. If they can recore for 100$, I'll probably get them to do that.

                          It started as a small one that could have been fixed temporarily, and yeah, lots of that kind of stuff is just throwing money out of the window - a real repair is the best.

                          Broken down cars is a pestilence - I have experienced a broken clutchcable (you really appreciate the tachometer in that situation), a total electronic shortcircuit and an randomly dead engine - mechanics never found out what the problem was - after a couple of minutes of "rest" it started again.

                            You should be signed up to a breakdown service.

                            Instant diagnosis so no worrying about lots of things it's unlikely to be, possible fix, tow to garage and drive you home - AND no ticket!

                              Uh, no.

                              What part of "there was no obvious leak" did you not understand? If it "turned" into a large leak then there was obviously an entire weak area. Plugging the initial break would simply have caused the large hole to appear sonner.

                              BlackCat, you obviously don't have a ****ing clue here.

                                You could have just put a raw egg in there. It plugs up the leak long enough for you to drive the car to a mechanic. It really works.
