how to recessitate a dead automobile

puckering up your lips, you stick your mouth over the tailpipe of the car, then with quick bursts you inhale. in a few minutes it wont matter if the car is running or not.

well, it's running again, the car, no not the good one, THAT one was always running, well not always, but recently. I'm talking about the one i drive, the "old" one. "Sienna's car" is now running. Technically they're BOTH sienna's. Since she gracefully gave me her lump of poo car and gets to drive "our" (read: her) new car to work. where was i? oh yeah...

I got the "old" car running it was in fact the battery. I'm kinda thankful of that, considering the price of a rebuilt alternator for my car shot up from 35 to 80 fucking dollars! I dont have a calculator or anything but that's like almost twice as much... or something. It turns out... as you car gets older pars become MORE expensive because all of the cars like yours have been stripped of parts, so cars like mine can be rebuilt. I also purchased some spark plugs (read: decided to sink a few more bucks into that reched heap of shit). As any self respecting mechanic can tell you you need a spark plug gapper to check the distance on your plugs before you install them. Now I'm sure you dont know what a spark plug gap tool looks like... AHHH but i think you might. have you ever seen one of THESE things sitting around your car or garage or in a bucket when you're leaving the wal-mart? I guarentee 80% of you have one in a drawer in your house. But of course I, even though i have damed-near every tool i need to rebuild a volkswagen from scrap, cant locate mine. so the plugs will have to wait.
