Ha! I always feel obligated to tell the techs that I have manual steering when I go in for annual inspection.
I don’t have anything funny, I obviously drive kind of a junker...typical Honda paint fade, a headliner which looks like it was used by Wolverine for claw practice, an alternator which doesn’t charge over 3400rpm, and just 5 days ago, the power wire to the AC clutch rubbed through. Go figure, it was 95 and I was carrying some chocolate my wife wanted on the way home from Dallas. She never wants sweets, so it was a facepalm moment. Beaters look good with stickers, though, so I have a plethora of them plastered on its fragile paint. All cars go to heaven, and I’m gonna ride this one until it’s time.
My Echo was the true nightmare junker though. It was a hot mess in a lot of ways, though I was able to baby it about 5 years past where most people would have given up; I quit when the radiator busted, because $100 and 8ish hours of labor was too much to bother with, so I took the $200 ca$h from a recycler and moved on.
