    Narrator: he never replaced that O2 sensor, but the catalytic converter never suffered any direct consequences either, despite all the dire warnings from Lemmy, since the thief who stole it kept it safe from any unburned exhaust gases.

    To anyone out there's who isn't aware, do not take your car to a dealership or auto shop with no idea why the check engine light is on. Instead used a Fixd diagnostic device or something similar to get more details. At least that way you are arming yourself with information and are less likely to be ripped off.

    Why does your car have MPH and km/h? Is it Canadian? Sounds like the only place where things are almost normal, but then there's these glaring reminders that they have a deranged southern neighbour.

    Most of my cars in the US have had them. Digital ones you can choose the unit. I've always driven Japanese cars, but I've seen it in rentals also.

    TIL, thank you. Never thought American cars would have km/h, maybe there's hope yet.

    /s we're all doomed, it's fine
