That old car is really screwed on.

Well, move over OBD! (Google it if you’re not a mechanic)

It’s got a go-cart in the trunk?

A baby Dodger ?

The backseat driver wasn’t wearing protection!

One of you posters said yesterday that Prof. Cosmo’s DeSoto spends more time in the shop than on the road (or something like that).

Josh That was me. There must be some truth to that statement, since I rarely - if ever see the De Soto when it’s not in the shop

I used to have a mechanic who did digital tune-ups. He used the digits on his left hand and the digits on his right hand (for all I know he used the digits on his feet too). When he was finished, the car still didn’t run any better. Perhaps, the problem with Cosmo’s De Soto is that the same mechanic is doing digital tune-ups on it too.

I thought it was one agnostic cut in half, FishStix, but I googled it and you’re correct - two agnostics. Good call.

You know this mechanic is a scam artist. That old Desoto is pre-digital, so there is nothing electronic about that car that could be diagnosed digitally, but the first clue should have been when he offered to upload tunes to an AM, tube radio.

Thats the internet for you, Im suprised it didn’t offer to make the drive shaft larger too.

@hypnotoad: funniest comment i’ve seen in a while.

OBDIII - the iOBD

Cosmo, you ARE the father.
