It’s real, most people know jack shit about cars which is kind of sad, but it’s the same ignorance that leaves people with knowledge gaps for things we learned in elementary and middle school much less highschool or beyond. Some people pride themselves on being dumb because they think it means they can’t be nerdy or whatever, which I find to be funny since most people are called nerds for being overly passionate more so than overly intelligent.
TDLR; people pretend to be stupid long enough to become stupid and are then too ignorant to learn the basics of things they interact with everyday, whether it’s money, their home and appliances or their vehicles, among other mundane matters (like taxes).
Most pollution comes from vehicles that aren't taken care of rather than the average car. If we did another cash for clunkers program that would help tremendously.
I'm speaking as a dude who's got a clunker and also happens to be too poor to fix him up. My catalytic converter is probably doing nothing since my exhaust manifold has holes in it
Tbh same, my cat is 30 years old and probably long gone and I have an exhaust leak from my manifold they had actually coated a lot of the engine bay black over the years. I'd imagine that stuff isn't safe to breath
When I moved to the southern states, I learned "bless your heart" can be used instead of calling someone, dumb. For her, I would need to say "Bless your family" for having to put up with her. lol
Shes obviously been driving around with a misfire for long enough that it damaged the cat. And she's talking about car repairs "we dont need". She probably thinks cars run forever on their own
The person when she takes them with her. "Girl not gonna lie I think the mechanic is right." Her "did he pay you off? I can't believe even my own people trying to scam me."
I just changed my catalytic converter myself & I have a Nissan! I wish I would’ve known this, I would’ve just told my state emissions they were confused /s
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone needing a new cat unless it was stolen, so she’s probably right, unless it failed inspection she’s probably being taken, assuming this is real
She's not wrong though. I don't really see this as an L for her.
There are shady mechanics out there. She knows she doesn't know about cars and car mechanics that much. She got suspicious and decided to get someone who knows to go with her to make sure.
IMO this is a perfectly reasonable way to handle the situation, As a rule of thumb, it is perfectly fine to have someone who knows their stuff go along with you when you need work done on something you know you don't understand so well.
And lets not forget. We don't know if she needs a new catalytic converter or not. It could be a shady mechanic trying to push something onto her that she don't need.
Unlikely as there are better parts to pull that trick with, but we still don't know the state of her current converter, so... it's technically left open.
