Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

My son's check engine light on his Mazda 3 has been on for 6 months now. I've been telling him to buy a new sensor and replace it, but he kept putting it off until his mpg's finally went to shit and it started costing him money. Told him 2-3 days before to start shooting some wd-40 on the base after it cooled off to loosen it up. He never did that and tried to get it out 2 days ago, wouldn't budge. I was working and couldn't help him then.

We set up some time to do it today. I told him to shoot some wd40 on the base after it cooled off. He gets home last night and immediately shot some wd40 on the base/manifold. It caught fire, small but got his attention.

He comes in and says, "you didn't tell me wd40 can catch fire", I said, "I also told you to wait until it cooled off". Damn kids, they don't listen any better then I did.

I did give him congrats on the fact that I hadn't heard of anyone setting wd40 on fire.

 

I use WD40 and steel wool for my flaming arrows.

 

Easy there Legolas.

 

Don't give too much credit. He's old enough that my role moves to trying to influence 'em instead of telling him what to do.

 

Oh shit you said Legolas. Stalker will be here soon.

 

Lurkin. That will be my son next year. I've tried to prepare myself. Please lawd help me!

 

That's what I was afraid of when he was out there trying it the first time. Guess he did listen when I said to be careful not to try too hard or it will break off.

 

You people have kids old enough to drive? Old fucks.

 

This explains the hatred for square headlights.

 

Dam. I've been in the wrong thread this whole time.

 

Fucking kids! GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

 

Don't worry, I'll officially be old in 3.5 weeks

 

Old enough to drive finally?

 

You don't know that.

 

If that's old, what does that make Stalker?

 

She's been old.

 

Jeepers are born, not trained.
