Being "That Guy". Sorry.
13 years ago
I don't want to be "that guy", but right now I'm in a sick kind of panic. The compressor in my car has started making noise. Two years ago, the compressor on my last car went out and catastrophically self-destructed. It took several days and about $500 to fix.
I don't have that kind of money right now if it turns out that bad. I just had my valve covers, spark plugs, and wiring harness done for a (thankfully) unrelated issue. I've been employed for reasonable pay, but less than I need for my degree and student loans, for about ten years. Between my house, student loans, and yes, some stupid debt I should never have let happen, I'm carrying more debt than I really should.
I know that Furry is full of mooches, with just the occasional person with more disposable income than they need, who like to throw it at good ideas. If I know any of those, and if they happen to think that I'm a good idea, please drop me a line.
I fully admit that I'm still panicking right now. It COULD be less dire than I fear. I just won't know until at least Tuesday, because my mechanic can't get me in until then.

I can't get away with disabling it right now; we've had a week of 100 degree weather, with more on the way. I tried to have the windows down while my car warmed up the other day; I put my hand out the window at speed, and felt no temperature difference.
Walmart sells the gauges, last I checked. As long as it's a R-134 system or newer you should be alright. If it's an old R-12 system you might not be able to get it fixed for a sane price.
Still, it IS tempting. ;)
My bad, Wuff.
Sorry, Darkwulf. I'd help if I could, but everything I bring in from babysitting goes directly to keeping my sister's family going. I can't even buy myself a new used book.
