Well, my wife still needs to get to work whilst it is getting fixed and the repairs are going to take months. If we choose to repair the car we will not be able to buy a new one so it’s a bit of a Catch-22.

Even if the car was fine, we would be still selling it. She had trouble with parking a car as big as a CX-5, and that car burns a bit too much diesel for her 70 km a day commute.

We are most likely to buy a car that’s at least 10 years old, we can’t afford any better. Probably we will be buying Toyota Auris for about 6K.

The first quote I got for the car was 1200 euros.

The engine repair guy said the repair would cost at least 3000, but the parts are hard to come by and it might take months just to get them. Getting them from the manufacturer would quickly inflate the price. And even if we replace all those parts, it would still prolong car’s life for 3-5 years.

Yes, but it would be as expensive as the car. It is also technically possible to replace a bunch of parts in order to fix it, but they are hard to get and expensive to get from the manufacturer.

Yes, it is something very similar to that.

Might be, might be. Or WellThatSucks if we have one.

The engine doesn’t supply the oil to some of it’s parts properly, so parts like the turbo compressor went bad.

The car is too old for that.

Yes. But to see the defect, one has to remove the underside of the engine which we didn’t do.

Goodnight, everyone.

I don’t know what any of this means, upvoted everything anyway.

BLT is also an abbreviation for a Russian swear word “blyat” which is the appropriate thing to say upon receiving this sandwich.

Their biggest issue is the rubles they get paid for this are losing value every day.

With what Twitter is worth now, that fine would be akin to complete asset forfeiture.

Python is actually named after Monty Python’s Flying Circus, so it isn’t a serpent. It is so much worse.
