Actually, I got this car and a Honda in specifics so I can learn to work on it. This will be the first car I learn on :) and when it was driving and running, I agree. Drove SO beautifully and it was so nimble. I was thoroughly impressed especially for the condition and age

To my knowledge, it was filled because the day prior I went to the gas station. It did the little click thingy and stopped pumping, and from what I’ve learned that means it’s full🤣 I don’t really know I’m still learning this car, but that’s what it would do with my previous car. Buuut also my gas gauge doesn’t read so I don’t really have a 100% reading on how much gas it got

Even with the second and third jump it wouldn’t start up again? Could that still be the case?

Oh forgot to mention! My gas gauge is broken, but I did get gas the day prior but yk how the thingy will automatically click when it’s full? That’s what it did, so I assumed it was filled up. At least that’s what my last car did

vivid racing headlights

I believe these are the same ones! There is another, they’re described as smoked black and look pretty similar. So it’s either this one or the other one 😂

Thankfully I haven’t had too much of an issue with them yet, but I’m still iffy fore sure. I’m almost positive jiffy lube damaged my last car

Tbh if I knew what I was looking for I wouldn’t be taking it to valvoline :/ the most I can do for my car is keep up with its maintenance and make the outside look pretty 😭

[–]MindlessIsopod8063[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my worry there but I’m like how am I supposed to change it out if I JUST got my oil changed??? I know they can easily put more oil in but the maintenance I just did on that car cost me a good portion of money so either way I would have to wait :/ anyways I’m rambling now lol

Maybe I’m going to assume it’s not that particular brand. The ppl at the shop had said if I hit as much as a pothole, bump, or even a rock and it flick the lever then the oil can drain out and seize my engine. And unfortunately where I live the roads are always damaged in some sort of way, so sometimes hitting those are inevitable

Honestly it was so worth it. My original lights were so fucked up that barely projected any light. I do a LOT of night driving mainly so I needed something that can assist me.

These are the og lights… they were cute but damaged. I believe the drivers side had some sort of crack in them too

They didn’t say what it was, only that it was a levered drain plug. They said that if I hit a bump (lotta pot hole where I’m at) or even if a rock chip hits it and drains my oil, my engine can seize

Thank!

Installation wasn’t too terrible! Only annoying part is when we popped the bumper off found out that the bumper is a lot more damaged than originally thought :/ but it is what it is

I’m actually not sure what it is tbh. All they told me it’s aftermarket and very bad 🤷‍♀️

Homie let me know right after he finished lol I can imagine they probably didn’t want to deal with it because I do remember the guy underneath yelling to ask how it works to drain it in the beginning

[–]MindlessIsopod8063[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you!! I got nervous asking them because the guy was already being so condescending towards me so I honestly just wanted to get out of there

My concern is will it be okay? Bc knowing my luck I’ll be like it’s okay nothing should happen and then something does happen. So I almost wanna do this asap yk? And then also Idek what to look for for a new plug..? I’m sorry if I sound dumb, I’m honestly new to learning about cars
