Chrysler Intrepid ES to R/T Build-Up Thread

[Lazerous]

Told me that too, and he has a manual Accord as a "loaner" from his friend who supposedly couldn't drive stick about a month ago.

The friend part (regarding how he knows how to drive a stick) is believable. I never knew how to drive stick and didn't learn until I went to the dealership that one Friday afternoon. The next day I got the very same car I learned on.
Well I did also learn on a 4dr Civic Si and a Scion tC but those were all on that same Friday as well.
Essentially what I'm saying is that I learned how to drive stick in the ~30min worth of test drives and got a MT the next day.

The car's supposedly his friend's mom's. I just find it kinda hard to believe that he's lived with this car, and his own Mom didn't teach him how to drive stick, but Trep came to the rescue? I don't know, it sounds fishy to me.

Maybe his friends mom is a busy lady. What I find harder to believe is that she let her son give away her car to a friend in need.

Then again, I don't really care either.

Back studying I am.

He told me his Intrepid is dead today. The engine runs but none of the electrics work. I was more than a little happy.

Umm, how the fuck does the engine run but none of the electrics work?

Without 90% of the wiring harness being intect, the engine won't even think of running.

Dude's popped a fuse.

That's what I told him, but he dropped it off at a dealer.

That's going to be a $700 fuse replacement...

[CALL_911]

No kidding...

[Lazerous]

No kidding...

Actually he was kidding. The total is going to be $327.83 give or take a penny.

Still, that's one expensive fuse.  For $330, it better be showing me boobies every time I start the car.

Actually I was joking as well. I don't know what the total is going to be.

However, I did print out a picture of boobies and placed it in front of my instrument cluster so that every time I turn on the car and the gauges light up I see boobies. It cost me $0.08 give or take a dime. Yes, I might have made money out of it somehow.

Brilliant!  I too shall be doing this $0.08 mod to my car.

[the Teuton]

Are you peeps already questioning his credibility on this one?

[Lazerous]

What credibility?

[the Teuton]

What credibility?

I just heard an echo of "ouch!" yelled somewhere in Ontario.  We're going to need to call the fire department because that burned.

[Secret Chimp]

He told me it was just a $7 fuse. No burn (surprisingly)

[r0tor]

this whole thread was making a giant turd into a giant turd...

Trep not telling a straight story?  I don't believe it.

[Laconian]

I want to see his Camry smart key fob placed next to the new fuse to prove that it is his.

[MrH]

[GoCougs]

I think it obvious by now "his" Camry and "his" Intrepid are plainly his parents' cars.

He will rightfully refuse to post a pic "out of principle."

[CALL_911]

I think it's obvious that the Camry belongs to his parents. I believe that the Intrepid is his car.

[Pommes-T]

Somehow great how he can even make the liveliest threads without even beeing able to post! 

[Soup DeVille]

Are you peeps already questioning his credibility on this one?

No, I'm bringing forth his well known reputation for overreacting to even the most minor mechanical hiccup.

His Camry is his mom's car. She let him use it for awhile......



The Intrepid he says is his. His dad's company car lease was about to expire, and they were given the option to buy out the remainder of the car's value, so Trep just outright paid for it.




I kinda miss him, I do.

[TBR]

A $7 fuse? I bought 6 for $2 the other day.

It may be a maxi fuse.
