Before I explain my hate hate relationship with cars I'll just say that while this site is largely for the use of presenting my demo reel (when it's finished) and my art/animation abilities, I think the blog should just something for me to talk about whatever I want.
Now as for the title of this post, there's always something wrong with a car I'm driving. Currently my car has this "sickness" which is the best way I can describe it. The best way I can explain it is in two phases.
PHASE 1:
Yea, essentially the car goes haywire, then all the issues just go away before returning. This has made it incredibly hard to get car shop to find the problem since the problems all go away by the time they check it out. It's been to one shop for nearly two weeks at one point, because of the way they work on their cars they checked the entire car almost completely by hand. And they didn't find anything at all.
Just last week when my car's fluid pipe busted it was taken to Merchant Tires. They fixed that problem and found a few other problems to and took care of those. When I got the car back from them it worked amazing, not a single problem had, until this Monday. Driving home from school without worry when suddenly phase 1 hits.
Yep, I have the most ninja like car problem ever. You could relate it to a computer virus as well, the way it messes with things then takes precautions to avoid detection. Someday, someday i'll be rid of this ninja virus. But today is not that day.

PHASE 1:
- Car jerks back hard, very easy to notice. Scared my friend when he first felt it happen.
- Gear shifting stops working
- At complete/near complete stops, car acceleration is extremely low
- Check engine lights turns on
- Car works completely normal, with none of the phase 1 issues
- check engine light stays on for about a day or so later before turning off
