That’s not as bad as when the alternating flange throttlers are thrown out of alignment by worn cam disinclinators, resulting in severely eroded fuel separation internodes on the partial sprocket recombinator..If you watch enough Star Trek, you get to understand these things.

Maybe it was only a muffler bearing.

“Wuzzlenugget” is now a standard part of my vocabulary, both as a noun/name for an item I cannot remember at the moment [“Be a dear and please hand me that, um, er, wuzzlenugget next to the book on the table.”] and as a mild profanity [“WUZZLENUGGET!! The hammer landed on my bare foot!”]. Yes, this is a great word.

We all understand ‘cha ching’. My husband was putting a bicycle together with me reading the instructions. When I came to ‘brake noodle’ I lost it. I couldn’t stop laughing. He said it is a real thing. I thought it was some weird foreign translation. I might use wuzzzlenugget if I could remember it. When the hammer lands on my barefoot, too many other words come immediately to mind.

“Suck-er!”

At least there is one honest mechanic at the shop…

Why do I keep hearing ? Tom Cruise screaming Show Me The Money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know the feeling all too well. I needed a new transmission which is expensive enough but then they found out I needed new bearings or something. Luckily for me they didn’t charge labor for the bearings.

Is that a pony on Adam’s shirt?

My theory is that the “engine maint” light on the dashboard is connected to the financial balance sheet at the dealership. When profits are down, they send the signal to light that light!

What it really needs is a left-handed frammistat with a flywheel gasget!

@TrapperJohn Nitrogen doesn’t have the same expansion and contraction that natural air does. But considering all tires leak some air, It’s a waste of money.

It reduces pollution. If you fill the tires with plain filling station air in NJ and get a leak in MO you badly pollute the fresh farm air. If you had used nitrogen then you would not be cross contaminating the air. On the other hand some fresh NJ oil fumes might get rid of some of the Monsanto toxins sprayed on the crops.
