Default It slips my mind from time to time.

Does anyone ever forget that our cars aren't the newest of machines? Like when something breaks it tends to be upsetting and nerve wracking, but I forget my car is a 1992 and it needs some loving. Anyone else ever get that way?

Lol true that to the car payment. Well my ac compressor took a hella crap on me and the clutch is burning up bad to the point little metal shavings are fluttering around the engine bay when I got a long distance. Well then tonight the car started to whistle/squeal when I pressed on the gas. I THINK its in relativity to the serpentine belt squealing because of the wobbly clutch.

At least I am hoping that is the case because I intended to put a new belt on with the new compressor this week and addition to the R134 fitting and what not.
