(it/its or they/them) Just a creature trying to fix its car, and hopefully show some folks that what's under the hood isn't that scary. www.youtube.com/@infernal_machines Cohost of @shawiniganmoments.ca Indie game dev: @witchpixels.dev

Good god what an ordeal. Good thing the other side isn't even harder. It isn't harder right? Right?! #vw #carBS

Wear gloves folks! That coulda been my hand!

Glove cut open by a cutting wheel, the fabric bunched up in the wheel and prevented any injury.

He's been a good boy, so he gets a bath today. #carBS #weirdCarBS #vw

1988 Jetta GL dripping from getting washed in a dank east Vancouver garage.

He looks happy to be clean, I think

I don't think my parking brake cable is supposed to look like this. #carBS #weirdCarBS #mk2Golf

Parking brake cable that has snapped after being static and accumulating rust and corrosion for ages

Nothing puts the BS in #carBS quite like surprise oil pool

Reading the safety section of the Bentley's Manual for removing the fuel pump housing and all I can think is "Bold of you to assume there's any fuel anywhere in here." Still Eye pro on; Battery disconnected; Drain Pan ready. Safety first!

Today's weather, stuck rusty screws and rotten fuel lines. #carBS #weirdCarBS

Person glares at rotten fuel line before giving up and going to the auto parts store for stripped screw remover and new hose clamps

I just want to add that this was one of the contenders for our national flag #Canada #badVexillology #FlagDay

Actually serious submission for a potential Canadian.

In the left half of the flag, three Canada Geese, on their way to fuck something up, as Canada Geese do. On the right, Nine maple leaves and one Fleur-de-Lis in a 2x5 grid over a Union Jack mean to represent the 10 provinces.

All on an honestly pretty handsome red banner, contents aside.

Christ, when I said I wanted to put a period radio in my car I did not expect it to be the single most expensive thing in it... including the rest of the entire car... #weirdCarBS #carBS

Order details page from Ebay for a Volkswagen Gamma 2 car stereo from the late 80's or early 90's.

The cost was 288 USD, but since I am in Canada, this suckeer was almost 500 Canadian Loonies with shipping.

Wanna learn how to fix a car? with a queer person? Check out this thing that I decided to do kinda on a whim. I'm at least going to run this for the next six months, since that's how long the lease on the garage lasts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmUI... #autos #autoRepair #vw #mk2jetta

I bought a dead 80's Jetta, so I guess we should talk about that.

So to illustrate how fucking stupid the tariffs Trump is proposing are, I need a new fuel pump. The one that I ordered is made in Mexico, purchased from an American company and then shipped to Canada for my German car. The thing is, that's also true for every part of every car in North America.

Sometimes I swear automotive engineers have never actually seen a car before. #VW #jettaMK2 #autoRepair
