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

      You got the little table as the spare tire cover right?

      I love my 2001! We’re at 348k and still kicking. Engine misfires are starting to get worse so we’ll see how many more miles she has

    Look at this guy showing off his working dash lights.

    Still more reliable than a Cybertruck.

      by far

      a cybertruck will never last 35 years of abuse like these old japanese cars used to.

        Tbh there aren’t many modern cars that look like they will last 35 years, and unfortunately that includes the Japanese.

    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.

      Hey man I hope things get better, I feel your pain. On the bright side congrats on the promotion!

      You can try biking sometimes. Clears your head, low maintenance, gives fresh thoughts. Mix it with microdosing lsd.

        very much depends on OP’s circumstances. It’s likely very impossible for them to do so, or dangerous. America sucks.

    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.

      People who own this car probably do care to fix the problems, they just don’t have the money that’s required to do so.

      Oligarchs have the money, they just don’t have the desire.

    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.

    Some matte tape will fix all of those problems…

    …placed over their dashboard indicators, of course.

    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.
