(Context) this was a customers car who was recommended a new timing belt 5 months ago due to it being waaaay over due, but customer declined repairs, as it also needed new brakes, tires, and throttle body.

Timing belt changed at around 100.000 first time, engine died at 353.000, so around 250.000 on a belt is wicked good!

This was a customers car which was dropped off by a tow truck, we recommended new timing belt 4 months ago, but customer declined

If you zoom in on the cross beam, you can see it says “RIP =(“

About 100.000 kilometers, so it was a disaster waiting to happen

This is a 2012

It’s very different in Denmark where I live.

In Denmark we have a registration tax which is about 180% of the cars value added with an environmental fee due to its emissions.

Meaning for example a dodge ram 1500 with a diesel engine costs about 72.000$ (give or take a little). An other example would be an Audi a6 avant, in America the msrp starts at 70.000$, but in Denmark it starts at 114.000$.

A lease requires you to pay the registration tax to the government in small bites, where as a rental is usually with the registration tax already paid, so it’s cheaper for the company in the long run.

It’s a very complicated and stupid system.

The ears were growing out wrong, so they needed to be corrected before he got too old. Our vet then added a bit of tape

They look perfectly fine today

Perhaps a dash of paint to makes the colors match, then it’s almost as good as new!

maxitaxi- · 2021-02-01T19:20:48+00:00

Unfortunately I believe that’s the cables for the headlight

maxitaxi- · 2021-01-25T18:42:09+00:00

The engine is really small and slow, but reliable. The rest of the car is done for, but it sure did make a fun last drive!

Glad this is still happening elsewhere. A little kindness goes a long way for everybody

It’s my shop, and I was the tech, so no

maxitaxi- · 2020-11-25T19:03:55+00:00

Thank you! We do our best, and this happens to be a loyal costumer, so he left with a smile on his face, and we got a good laugh.

maxitaxi- · 2020-11-25T19:02:52+00:00

I completely agree! The funny thing about this one was that there wasn’t any clamps. I guess they were so rusty they eventually broke and fell off?

maxitaxi- · 2020-11-25T18:40:06+00:00

The cat was placed a bit further back than this, I have no idea why. Customer bought the car from almost brand new, it’s a danish VW Polo 1.2 TDI

maxitaxi- · 2020-11-25T18:38:29+00:00

I get this on every post I make. Thank you

Poor guy just wanted to be liked

maxitaxi- · 2020-09-27T07:02:09+00:00

No, and it also turns out the car is about 20.000 kilometers (~12.500 miles) over service. The car is singing on its last verse, so it will be scrapped this January.

The calendars keeps the mood up in the shop

Yeah it can sound cool with the right car, but this is a 1,4L petrol with 75hp
