Just for those that are really struggling, many times it’s much much much cheaper to fix the problem immediately rather than wait. And doing it yourself is possible. You can even often borrow tools from your library. My library literally lends out fucking tablesaws!!! (Don’t use that to fix your car) Just something to keep in mind.

PSA if your car’s belts or breaks are squeeling, replace them. They’re designed to be noisy at the end of their lifespan, it’s supposed to let you know to replace them.

Drove on squeely belts for years, the snap. Engine boiled.

Radio broken - turn the radio up

Most engine light warning problems can be fixed with a small square of electrical tape.
