Work has been done on Project $300. Progress has not been made.
Work done:
- Remove old stereo wiring
- Fix bad ground at L taillight
- Remove remains of alarm system wiring
- Check interior ground points
- Install fresh grounds between battery and car body, battery and engine, and engine and body.
- Get OBD-II connector working, read codes.
- Fix automatic headlamps.
Sometimes it will run just fine. Sometimes it won't start.
Dad's expensive Snap-On code reader pulled no codes from the Engine Control Unit. However, it pulled 3 pages of codes from the Body Control Module.
The vehicle has massive internal electrical system faults. I don't know if it's a bad ground somewhere in the vehicle, wiring shorting out, or what the fuck at this point. What I do know is the previous owner had to have lied through his fucking teeth.

Should've bought the Reatta, bro.

The Reatta's long gone. Besides, at least $300 has OBD-II that we can talk to.

So you're saying a completely crazy person whose mindthoughts you can read is better than an ordinary mild schizophrenic?

Yes. Because the ordinary mild schizophrenic has had their brain rewired using 1980's Delphi electronics.

So, you're saying special superhuman mental competence for either of them. Say, like a mentat. I'm pretty sure either of them can be dealt with better under a little bit of Arrakis spice - the electrons must flow... although Reatta might actually be code for "Gom Jabbar".

I'm sorry, did you just say 80's Delphi electronics were competent?
![]() 12/01/2014 at 17:30 |
|
Oh, hell no. I was saying they require extraordinary competence to understand, which is a completely different thing.

I think the problems with $300 are simple. We need a young priest and an old priest. If they fail, a tactical nuclear strike. If *that* fails, God help us all.
