Oh right, old car herpes. How hard could this be to fix?

Horrible pictures, but take note of the tiny if blurry drainage path for oil. It's like they knew shit would leak.

Oil leak fixed. Smurfs were not harmed for this repair. They consented.

Meaning of "bricked up" through the ages:
Now: horny
Then: For the love of god, Montresor!

All hail the decently mighty B212. Progress made on the #Saab and hopefully no more oil leaks?

New side markers looking snazzy on my #Saab. Turns out the side marker design was used for decades.

A beige Ford Taurus of the first generation. No missing hub caps, no rust. A station wagon to boot? This was it. We used to be a nation.

A remarkably clean first gen Ford Taurus wagon. No rust to be seen.

Old floor mat is just not pleasant to be around. Decided it's time to put all those discount carpet tiles to good use. Still a work in progress tho. #Saab 900

The fuel line sprung a leak on the #Saab 900. The length is made up of 4 separate pieces of different sizes. I replaced a length and said a prayer. Machine spirit smile upon me.

I wouldn't mind big trucks if the headlights weren't so delightfully eye level. Also obligatory "look how big trucks are now" with my #saab for comparison.

Any regulations and laws met in regards to whatever is going on is purely coincidental and likely accidental. My shitposts are not approved by any agency which uses acronyms in any capacity.

Update 4 to shame myself on the #Saab 900.
-gas leak happened and fixed itself
-oil leak continues
-coolant leak continues - I have commissioned a new leak detection system.

Update 3 on the #Saab 900. I have found out where the coolant is disappearing off to. Turns out it's leaking out. The oil leak has been fixed using heavier weight oil... that being said maybe the old cardboard I'm using is too dirty for me to tell anymore?

Overall making good progress!

In lieu of doing work on the Saab, I have taken up kayaking.

#Tissot PRX, but instead of a power powermatic I got the questionable yet funky digital one.

Are reaction youtubers relevant because some people don't have internal monologues?

List of things I need to fix in the order I will probably forget to do them in for the #Saab 900:
-Redo the seats
-fix the cracked dashboard
-clean out hvac and fix lights in dashboard
-clean the convertible top
-adjust headlights/fix grill
-try and give up on fixing that oil leak

So it begins. Seats are out. Follow me for more suffering and a final update in 4 years when I give up.

Behold the #Timex keychain. One of the lugs broke years ago, but it felt wrong to just toss the watch.
