Just Saved This Lil Guy. I Had To Remove The Front End Of The Vehicle To Do It, But He Is Now Free And Alive And Well
Having a car is a mix of joy and terror. The freedom of driving anywhere anytime, except until a certain sound goes off and you start doing mental calculations on just how much it might cost. Some of these lights that might show up on your dashboard and you wonder just how long the vehicle will stumble on.
Add on top the fact that many mechanics are perhaps not the most honest individuals, and it’s easier to understand why so many people end up driving cars that hardly function properly. One survey found that the majority of Americans are not actually happy with their car service provider, as they feel like issues are overdiagnosed and fixes end up being overcharged.

I Dont Condone Stealing... But Man I Want To
The vast majority of mechanics are not liars. Car owners tend to underestimate just how badly their vehicle is doing. Or perhaps they drive a less commonly found, imported car, which means that any replacement pieces are more expensive then one might think. The real issue, ultimately, is that many drivers simply do not know the first thing about their vehicle and end up being taken advantage of.

I think Mice are rather nice. Their tales are long, their whiskers small. They haven't any chins at all. Their ears are pink, their teeth are white. They run about the house at night. They nibble things they shouldn't touch, and no one seems to like them much. But I think mice are nice.

There were a number of these with a kitten in the car. That happened to my wife a few years ago. She had been out running errands, and heard a kitten in her car when she got home. We could hear it, but couldn't see it. She got to looking around online, and someone suggested going on YouTube, finding a recording of a mother cat calling her kittens, and play it near the car. It worked like a charm. The kitten came right out.

When I see certain images.... You don't have compulsory technical inspection in the USA?
arthbach 8 months ago
There are no compulsory annual inspections in my country either. If a car is taken to be serviced, or have tyres changed, and in the opinion of the mechanic, the car is not road-legal then the car can not be driven away. It must either be fixed, or a tow truck called to remove it. If the car is on the roads, it must be road-legal.

We live on the Mississippi and had an old bridge. most was replacing the flooring and had all the asphalt off and you'd just be driving on the grid. They were also stopping people on the bridge, I hated that bridge, fear of heights, so I was looking any where except the road. I saw movement and looked down and saw a kitten just walking around and looking over the side. I got out and was holding on my car so I don't fall off the bridge. Really freaked the lady in front of me when I told her not move her car. The kitten came to me and was really oily. He rode the whole way to the vet with his head shoved into my neck, purring. He must have been in/under a car. He got adopted a day later by a woman that had just had to say goodbye to her dog.
