I have to turn in my man card

[JeremyD]

We ended up selling our 2003 - #1 the wifey didn't like how small it was. #2 It has some electrical issues that popped up randomly (like the doors would sometimes lock, sometimes not). Sometimes you would turn the key and nothing. My mechanic said something about the G3 control unit sometimes go -

She got a Toyota Highlander - so we should be good for awhile.

I dunno Kurt - is that evian bottled water in your cupholder?!?!

Either that's:
a.) not your bottle of water.
b.) filled with something other than H2O.

Otherwise, you may have to indeed forfeit your man card...

A real man would have ran his own wires straight from the battery, somehow utilizing duct tape and power tools. C'mon, think!

LOL! That's some generic brand from the gas station. And not even the water that came in the bottle. I reuse the bottle and fill it up from the refrigerator!

You are clearly in denial...

However, if your man card is revoked, I'll have to turn in my deck of man cards. I fix the farm equipment, but the cars go elsewhere. You, Sir, while generic, get to keep your card

You tell me you use that bottle for peeing while driving and then rinse it and use it for tap water, then I will allow you to retain your ill-gotten man-card.

Rinse it out?

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

That water looks like Dasani to me.

Oh damn...now I'm exposed.

Indeed, I think they are generally referred to as "technicians." The computer tells them what part needs replacing (there are no procedures for rebuilding or repairing components, only for replacing them).

Your problem is that you do understand cars and their mechanicals. This would be a hindrance to a technician. Mechanics think. Technicians follow procedures.

OOOOOOOOOOO Really, Come spend a week working with me. I am a mechanic/tech. I have been doing to for over 20 years, I love to hear someone say that the computer tells me exactly what I need to replace. hehe. If it was so easy everybody would be doing it and I would need another job.
That was the best laugh I have had all week, thanks.
