I've got an old 1983 Honda Accord.
Recently in order to pass it for registration I had to have some rust cut out of it. So at the moment it is patchy white with grey patches. It needs two new tyres, it has power windows but the back windows won't go back up if they are put down. I drive it cause it gets me places. Im not a rev head or really into cars BUT...
Some days I wish I had a car that just went. Didnt require much maintenance and had a CD player in it. Somedays like today.
I had to drive into town to do some paperwork for work I get dressed head into the car turn the key and ...well nothing. It was dead. Then I remembered that I had forgotten to take out the fuse for the brakes last night in order for the brake lights not to be on all night so that the battery wouldnt run out.. yes I have to take the fuse out.
Well it was dead, not even a sound. Because has central locking not all the doors would open either. SO I had to call on road service. They started it up and then I had to drive around for the next 40 mins in order for the battery top charge up fully. So here I am driving around thinking that I dont have much petrol in the car to drive around constantly for 40 mins. So I started to panick, thinking that if I pull up for petrol then Im going to have to turn the ignition off..
Well I was sick of it. Sick of hacing to pull the fuse out so I got that fixed. And it works out that why the brake lights werent working in the first place was because someone in their wisdom way back when it was made rewired it wrong! ..Anyhow its been revivied.. alive still for now. NOw all I gotta do is get the tyres and service it for my big trip... Big trip.. that is going to go so quick... hmmm.. hope she makes it!
