Hey Bitcoin, here's the deal: I need a new car. I just got home from a very long and sweaty trip: my A/C works, but at least one blend door actuator is possessed has a life of its own. I reset the system, and it worked for a few minutes again before it went wrong again. The end result: the A/C is working hard, the fan is loud, but the cold air doesn't reach the inside of the car. Barely any air comes out, because some of the blend doors are blocking it. Automatic climate control is very nice, until something fails, then old fashioned manual controls would have been much better. Add the fact that it consumes engine coolant, has a "check engine light" that comes on most of the time (but I can turn it off for a few hours by driving only long trips with expensive premium fuel), door rubbers that come loose, and tire pressure sensors that make a light on my dashboard blink (because of the sensor, not because of the tire pressure), and it's time to replace it. It's not even that old, but has had far too many problems already. Long story short, I want a new car.  Why post it here? I want to make a deal with Bitcoin, because I don't want to sell too much. So Bitcoin must go up, that's the only solution Smiley

Maybe I'm just very tired, but this felt like the right thing to post after the broken A/C really got to me. I just drove for 12 hours, passed an upside down car, a camper van on it's side, and lots of road work. Time to hit the couch with alcohol Smiley

This is the exact reason people have been buying old cars and having them rebuilt or converted.

And the reason I keep having my E38 repaired rather than replaced.

I'm seriously considering hunting down a 1990 Vanden Plas like the one I had stolen and having it rebuilt, I really loved that car.



In other news I have to put my 64 cup coffee maker on the deck now because it fights the AC too much!
