Oh, and good-ish news on the car

Posted by znufrii Jul 9 '12, 08:54

throttle plate control and MAP sensor, $636

        *rolls over for a belly rub* -- nm - newton si Jul 9, 09:08
      - and probably another $500 worth of work in the near future just for necessary upkeep. -- nm - znufrii Jul 9, 08:59

      - design flaw - znufrii Jul 9, 09:16 4
        
        too much stuff != design flaw -- nm - zork Jul 9, 09:22 3
        
        no, the design flaw is the crappy molded plastic the thing is made out of, which snapped at the slightest amount of stress. -- nm - znufrii Jul 9, 09:25 2
        
        also that there's no clear indication as to how much it will actually hold. -- nm - znufrii Jul 9, 09:28 1
        
        but you *knew* that you were putting in more than you should, right? -- nm - zork Jul 9, 09:29
      - there was no pillow to bite at the time? -- nm - zork Jul 9, 09:15
  - unicorns -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 9, 08:58 1
    - it's the only logical explanation. -- nm - znufrii Jul 9, 08:59
