That’s a first Gen CRV. Those lights are purely decorative and can safely be ignored for 80,000+ miles.

Still more reliable than a Cybertruck.

wife’s 2017 JK just had its tranny start whining today I was driving. After driving an hour. Won’t go back into a gear. Cools down. Gets back into gear. I tow it anyway. Low fluid? Demons? Daemons?

Either way what a cluster. Wife is stuck in ATL, trying to get home. I’m stuck on side of road.

Literally things “throwing money” could solve.

I got promoted this week. Estimated +500-600 a paycheck every fortnight.

It kicks in end of April’s check.

FML.

Sorry. not a shitpost. Just a sad 46 yo failure of a man with a pissed off alcoholicly angry wife.

This car......just like people in general society right now. Barely holding it together, and the people in charge realize you're on the verge of a breakdown. They just don't care to fix the problems.

Some matte tape will fix all of those problems…

…placed over their dashboard indicators, of course.

Had a 90s Suburban with almost 300k miles for a while as a hand-me-down from my parents, we owned it for about 10 years between us. The check engine light was always on, no matter what we did. Every sensor changed, code reset, everything we could think of. The truck ran like it was off the factory floor, no issues at all. Eventually the bulb burned out since it was always on.

I recently talked to the guy I sold it to 10 years ago, he still drives it! He loved it when he first drove it and has put a lot of miles on it only needing usual maintenance like brakes and a fuel pump. That old 5.7L Vortec sure is bulletproof but I'm sure he's not happy about it's 42 gal gas tank right about now.

still runs and starts any weather

My actual check engine lost is on, but so is my spiritual check engine light

Turns out my check engine light has flashy state as well and then also a separate maintenance required light? I am forever grateful for the random yt video detailing exactly how to fix my 20yo car. Even down to how detach every proprietary electrical connection. My mechanic said my car was dead but that video saved it.
