I remember paying a fortune to replace the o2 sensor in 240, and the catalytic converter was like $1000.

Date: September 19th, 2025 11:54 AM Author: Josh_Allen My LS gf drove a stick Jetta. We had our first intense make out in one while listening to her Dave Matthews CD (which I made fun of and toward the end she disheveledly said “it’s not so bad, huh?” with a shiteating grin) and some people from our section knocked on the windows like dicks.
Anyway haha back to my August bills. |
