I had a Jetta. One of the least hoopty hoopties I’ve owned. But as the years went on and miles piled up, in typical VW fashion, the check engine light would come on for no reason. Would pull codes and nothing. But of course inspection would fail.
It hadn’t come on for a few days so I took it in to renew reg (would reset after about 100 miles). Sitting there in the inspection lane, light winks on. I screamed at the dashboard and it blinked off. I stared in disbelief for a moment and it passed.
Thought it was a fluke but, no — any time it came on after that I would scream and it would turn off.
Maybe the light in the dash was shorting, causing the light to turn on on its own
And screaming was juuuust enough to cause the short to break connection?
It's either that or ghosts
Definitely Ghosts
Incontrovertibly.
It's so weird hearing new american-made words, they always sound strangely adorable.
I'd just call it a shitbox, but hoopty sounds so wholesome in comparison.
I'm American and honestly this is the first time I've heard "hoopty". I usually go with shitbox or beater, and I also hear the older generations use "jalopy" sometimes
It's a southern word
Gotcha, thanks
My buddy speaks German and calls his the (forgive my spelling) klapperkeister
Edit: klapperkiste*
Sounds kinky. I'm in!
You mean "Klapperkiste" = "rattle box"
Yes that!
