When I first got the car, I had to pay the mechanic to recharge the air conditioner because the compressor had completely depleted its coolant
I hated the car that I drove around during high school and college, but I was just happy to have a vehicle of any kind whatsoever. Some of my friends in college had to ask other students who they didn’t even know if they could accompany them on trips to the grocery store, although some of the students who would ask for these rides on our school forum felt entitled to the service without contributing gas money. My parents always told me to offer gas money even if the person driving you was going to make the trip without your presence. That was something I stuck by even in high school when I had friends with vehicles while I did not. When I finally got that old sedan, I wasn’t a fan of the poor stereo inside. The speakers were broken and rattled whenever I played music with any measurable amount of bass response to it. Fortunately I was able to get a new stereo and speakers in college, but it took some time to save the money. The worst thing about that old car was the heating and cooling system. When I first got the car, I had to pay the mechanic to recharge the air conditioner because the compressor had completely depleted its coolant. Eventually the compressor broke and I was left without an air conditioner to use as the replacement was more than what I could afford myself. My newer car has a satisfying air conditioner and heater in it and I cannot complain about the comfort level while I’m driving around from place to place.
