What should I do? Try limp it back? It's through multiple mountain passes and sub-zero temperatures lol. Damn I knew I should have got a new car, shouldn't have been a cheap fuck I guess.
Already checked the trans fluid and it looks okay squeezed in half a liter anyway cos fuck it.
I walked 7 miles earlier tonight by just leaving own house and walking around my neighborhoods.
Maybe try that next time.

I genuinely don’t care about your alcoholic problems. Sorry about your cat giving out on your man but you chose to be an alcoholic and now you live with the consequences.
Ayden Carter
Brutal. I'm currently halfway into a 2 month road trip with my 99 cargo van and I keep expecting for it to breakdown. I hear a different strange car noise every other day but so far its been running outstandingly despite me having always taken care of it at an absolute minimum. I got triple A though for the exact fear of your situation. The one issue I've got thats driving me nuts is for some reason when I pump gas I have to hold the handle myself and squeeze it for a really long time because it won't do it on its own, don't even know what causes that kind of bizarre issue but its gotta be on my car's end.

>I went insanely out of my way to walk and now I have to walk
I think that's caused by the angle of the pipe that goes to your fuel tank, and it causes fuel to splash back and trips the auto stop on the nozzle (that normally recognizes when the tanks full)

I'm guessing he's Victorian.

Check with /o/. Otherwise, limp the bugger back, I reckon. 380 k's only a few hours. What make of car?
Jacob Morris
We don't have any public holidays this coming Monday in Victoria. The one after is Queen's Birthday.

>user isn't driving stick lol you get what you get
Jose Baker
WA does, which is why I asked
Juan Butler
Any suggestion on solutions? I think you might be right but I'm curious what caused it cause it was working just fine 10 days ago
Mason Foster
Yeah, I figured. Just letting the guy who assumed he was Victorian know he's not.
Matthew Brooks
Does WA have mountain passes?

>Any suggestion on solutions? Asking literally anywhere else besides a film and tv discussion board on a site for chinese cartoons.
Easton Johnson
Yes
Luis King
What? It is.
Caleb Lewis
This pretty much happened to me and the car was in 'limp home mode'. I googled a bit and found i could pull some fuse to get it out of that mode and get home. The reason it went into that mode never seemed to come back but not saying that's gonna happen to anyone else

That's more than half the distance of Melbourne to Adelaide. It's about a four hour drive. Pushing a car would take weeks.

OP here, I'm in New Zealand south island.
Jack Baker
>drunk driving
this is your own fault retard.
Jaxson Cooper
Like other user said, drive it till it dies. Even if you're doing 30, you're still getting somewhere. I don't know about uphill though, that shit is scary.
Elijah Robinson
Yeah, shit, that makes much more sense. How much did you blow to need an interlock?
Lucas Wilson
>drunkard kafir >retarded decisions makes you think

i did but my problem seems to be a relatively unique one
