Morning of 3-8-7
I was worried all night about the van. She was idling high while in park, which can’t be a good thing. She didn’t start when I got home. Drove home fine, thankfully, but uh. Still.
I crossed my fingers this morning. She turned over, but was still idling high. I had an idea why she didn’t start yesterday after I turned her off. A high RPM means that there’s probably something wrong with whatever’s telling the engine to keep .. running? So the engine was probably flooded with gas. I remember back when we’d try starting the 3-wheeler. If we throttled it too much, Grandpa would tell us we’d flooded the engine, and to give it a minute.
I should get a job. I’d rather decommission The Van of my own accord, rather than be forced into it. For now, I prefer the piece of shit I know to the piece of shit I don’t know. Plus, I seriously have a lot of STUFF in the van, that has just become part of the van. Seriously. I’d want to pick out a new piece of shit and say, “I can see taking all my vehicle-related stuff and putting it in this.”
Anyway, time for another A&P II lecture where I take minimal notes, then a test in another class on the heart.
I ran into Dan just in front of the library. (For mental records.)
Does the idle improve as the car warns up?

I’ve got the same issue with my car. I want to sell it (I have never decided if it was a boy or girl and never named it. Nothing stuck…) before I move to MN, but at the same time when driving around and I see a car that I could afford and I think will do better in cold weather/snow I have to remind myself that its pretty much the same car. I have an 89 accord and I’ll get all excited about a corolla for a second until I realize this. lol

I’ve had my Festiva for 7 years. It was my first car. About a month ago, the whole tire just fell off. Completely off- lug nugs still tight on the tire. So tomorrow I’m getting a newer car. I’m still loathe to give up my Festiva, though. It’s kinda…sad, ya know?
