Where to begin? I’ve been having some car trouble.. I had to replace a fuel injector, but now more problems are happening. My car is hemorrhaging oil. OIL! This is no good in a diesel. My car also has 456K miles on record. I’ve been delving deep into MB forums that I’ve followed for years hoping those smart folks can help me out. They’ve helped me fix numerous things before but this might be too much. I lost over 2 quarts of oil going a total of 8 miles. That’s no fucking good.

The problem is A) It’s expensive as shit to fix Mercedes and B) I don’t have a bad ass mechanic (nor my Father) here to help me. This car is basically bullet proof though. It’s worth fixing. I could easily get a million miles out of her.

I found a hose that’s bubbling and cracked which I need to replace. I’ve never seen a hose bubble before. It’s got me a bit worried.

Other than that, life is good! I’ve started spending a lot of my spare time helping my Sister work on shoes a bit and have still been looking for a job. It’s kind of hard to look for a job though when your car isn’t working and you live 30 miles away from a bus stop. Brutal.

Hope life is treating all of you well though.

I’ll be happy once this fucking Mercury Retrograde is over.
