Oh god. Barb's going to demand that Chris pay for repairs on her car now, isn't she?

The first problem is it's a Dodge. Seriously avoid Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep like the plague. Them and VW because of the electrical problems.

I remember SOMEBODY predicted this, whoever you are, congrats:

As he should, if someone commissions my car, KNOWING it's in disrepair, then breaks it, I'm billing him, as disrepaired as it may already have been.

So much for getting through the weekend without a scratch. The A-Logs always win.

Now let’s hope that Barbs ancient ass Minivan makes it back home.

Are you a wizard?

I mean, Barb made sure he got the van checked before using it. What more could anyone have done when Chris has already made up his mind to use the van?

Imagine, when Barb dies.....Null will be dealing with this 6 - 12 times a year.

Null will CHOOSE to be dealing with this 6 - 12 times a year. Even Barb didn't go that far.

Lol. I believe I called this.

Let the begging commence!

 

[The Captain]

I seriously have no idea what else to tell him or who to call. Can someone more mechanically inclined chime in?



Edit: one more.

 

[AnOminous]

At least he hasn't spazzed out yet and broken the key. It won't let it turn when it thinks the car is in gear or the steering wheel is off. Also he might have to turn it back because it was never fully turned back in the first place.

I’m not a mechanic, but I’m almost positive you just have to keep jigging the wheel around, my old Toyota of a similar era did the same thing from time to time; there should also be an ignition release button under the steering column

Looks like that HUGE donation Chris received last week didn't go far. Good thing he gets paid again in a couple of days.

Doesn't @Marvin live around there?

He's probably on his way by white horse.

You want REAL advice? Start begging for money, unless he can find a tow that accepts whatever card he has or AAA. Starters wear out, if it's the engine that's not turning, he probably already made the starter more damaged. If it's the key tumbler not turning, then I have no idea, maybe some graphite lube will fix it or maybe not, I'm not going to tell him how to spend his last 20 bucks.

You want advice for you? Chris finds trouble, and fighting that is like fighting entropy. You hooked him up with Too Many Games and he got himself kicked out. If you also helped him get to Bronycon, this is two for two when you help him and it backfires, both times he'd have no trouble if he stayed home, so think about that.

I happened to be driving past Sheetz and was able to get a picture of Chris.

that key not turning in the car thing he's talking about happens to me all the time, i just take it in and out repeatedly and eventually it turns. not worth calling a tow truck over for.
