Okay. So I took my Teg to the Honda dealer today (not the acura dealer because I wanted to keep my service advisor from when I had my Civic, real nice guy btw) and asked if they would find out why my power windows, sunroof and windshield wipers werent working. Anyway, my advisor calls me back about 2 hours later and tells me that it was a fuse that had blown. THEN he proceeds to tell me other stuff that needs to be fixed...timing belt, 3 axels are leaking greece, I needed new vtec solenoids (?), the front turn signals werent working (I knew that when I got the car) and it needed complete new wiring, and a few other things. Total cost to repair, 1500! *gasp* That sucks big time! Anyway, I told him to go ahead and repair all of it. Arent I lucky?

Thats the thing, I would have NEVER guesses that there were other things that were wrong with the car other than what I took it in for. The car ran just fine. Anyway, my advisor said that the previous owner probably didnt sell it to me knowing the underlying problems. He said that it is just about the right time anyway for stuff like that to need replacing and tuning up. Mileage 82,000. And about it running like a champ after the work, hell ya. I dont know why anyone would not want to take care of their car. I cant see myself doing it. ALWAYS wash my car, get the oil changed, all that good stuff. People are lazy.

Did you let your stank ass roommate go near your ride? Maybe her stanky funk found it's way into your car and just messed it all up. j/k ;)

No, but on a more serious note, that totally sucks that you have to shell out so much money because someone did not take care of the car.

Is there a stank person that is the cause of all of this? How did antifreeze leak into your car?
