Trying to find any excuse possible to interact with !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on my day off. Not all is lost. I did manage to replace the side marker bulb that was burnt out.

Here's the detailed and pic heavy build thread:

Obligatory:

I was able to turn a 15 minute trip to AutoZone into an hour and 20 minute trip, though. I took a few, um, detours.

What have you done for your car today, Oppo?

I've got a slow leak on my front driver's side wheel so I topped it off before I left work. Yeah I got nothing.

I'm going to fill it with gas in about an hour.

Nice choice! Went to get my car from the dealership, my wallet hurts.

I washed it! Not to get rid of salt either, I'm doing a mini road trip tonight and the wheels were packed with snow … most annoying thing ever on the highway.

Ouch, what was being done on it?

Engine mounts, rear suspension bushings and a piece of plastic that goes on the windshield snapped off. The car has 18k miles on it and I'm $2,500 poorer.

I made and uploaded this to 9gag a while back. The struggle is real...

We are kindred, tortured souls, my brother.

Damn, man. Not sure what car you have, but this isn't covered by warranty?

Not, bought it used and it's a 2009 model year so no warranty.

I have a Citroen C5 btw.

Wow, very low miles. Man, how is it that the bushings wore out so fast?

Crappy roads I guess.

My car needs new rear differential mount bushings, right front CV, the rear windshield washer nozzle cleaned, the right rear quarter patched, new tie rods, and a power steering boot. But it hasn't been above 30 degrees in about three weeks. So none of that is happening anytime soon.

Pretty minor stuff except for that washer nozzle. Ouch, I don't want to see that repair bill.

I'll be doing it myself. But parts still cost money.
