"I deduced that the Boys of Pep needed me to spend a couple more bucks to appease
the gods of things mechanical before I could go home... " |
So I whipped out the AAA card and waited for the wrecker. we hooked her up to
the rig and headed off to Advance Automotive and Jose, the best mechanic on the
planet (well he's cheap at least). Jose took a look around and wouldn't you
know it, MY FUEL FILTER WAS CLOGGED UP WITH RUST!!!
After I said goodbye to Jose, I headed for the Pep Boys (auto parts) for a few
choice items, and then decided to call it a day. However, Sybil had apparently
beaten me to the punch. And here is what happened when I turned the key...nothing!!!I deduced that the Boys of Pep needed me to spend a couple more bucks to appease the gods of things mechanical before I could go home, so I went back for some spare fuel filters. About 15 minutes later, she started right up again and took me home. I didn't push my luck and walked to the laundromat last night just to be safe. Since Robbie Dee submitted this, we here at My Daily Driver have been keeping tabs. To date, Sybil has maintained the multiple-personalities true to her name sake. However, as every vintage car driver knows, everytime you turn the key it's like opening Pandora's Box, pulling out a Can of Worms and throwing it into a Hornets Nest. But that's why we love them.
