Get a W202 like mine. You only have to slightly turn the key once and it starts up automatically, can't grind it

Or just push-to-start

>>14488489

she broke her car and now drives mine because it's my fault her car is fixed yet.
My car is an lx570 and she likes it more than her honda fit because she "sits higher" now. I don't have time to fix her car because times are tough and I'm a busy guy. The cvt is leaking in the fit and ordering and installing a new one costs about $1500.
When I try to teach her how cars work she gets salty af. What do?

>I ALREADY SAID I'M SORRY OKAY

Date older women. That argument style isn't even high school tier.

>>14488516
tell her you can't afford to have your car break also

and that keeping the starter going once the engine has fired is bad

although, if she doesn't already notice the godawful noise that it makes, she is probably too far gone

>>14488495

buying a new car is not an option. I like my car. I saved up money for about two years and didn't go into debt to get it. It's a beautiful machine, which I would want to sell in at least 5 years. And I'll also probably sell it to a relative.

>>14488521

I tell her that the fix would at least cost a grand and probably around 1500 dollars and it's not something I can do in the backyard sipping my lemonade. She just cringes when she hears the noise, mouths a sorry and goes off on her merry way.

It's like the engine stops by itself when you press the brakes.
and you just turn it on again.

Her parents told her that she can buy a new car if she sells the honda. She cant sell the honda because it's a brick now. This situation is justing my shit up. Imagining my car lacking teeth on the flywheel like some meth whore really kills my mood, m8s.

>>14488517
Most women are like that so...

my gf broke the starter on her E36 BMW that I bought her. Made her pay for most of the repairs (it was a cheap repair) so she has a reason to learn to start the car properly. After a few times of practise she learned to do it and there have been no problems since. Dont be a cuck OP.

Break up with her retard, she's using you for free repairs and free car.

>>14488629

I'm trying to teach her the value of money. Before me she would buy an iphone every year. Her iphones looked like a veteran of dwarf fortress by the end of the iphone year. I earn more and come from a very well off family and I used my galaxy s3 for 4 or 5 years before it died of old age. The problem is we live together and we have a mutual budget. We're trying to save up for our future education, vacations, random shit. Her audit job pays fucking pennies!

Thats why you keep the battery in good shape, and ofcourse the glow plugs if its a diesel

>>14488761

If you have a near dead battery, giving it a rest before cranking it till its dead can sometimes give you a better shot getting something finicky started.

Or like if it hasnt started in about 7 seconds? Give her a rest and take another shot.

Waking up motorcycles that have been stored, vehicles with weak batterys, shit like that.

Seems like the simple solution is tell her to cut that shit out or she can't drive it anymore
Or hit her every time she does it

But them a proven model that can take abuse and is automatic. Don't ever let them drive your car. Ever. Also do oil changes for them when they aren't looking.

>>14488884

which model is that? I can't think of a single car a woman cant destroy with simple female negligence coupled with female spastic action.
She already dented the bumper of the lexus when backing out of a parking lot and getting hit by some shitbox after which she was ultra-righteous defensive about the moment I dented the wheel arch when offroading. I wasn't even mad. But hearing the grinding flywheel breaks my heart, m8s.
For some reason I TAUGHT her to use the parking brake. She NEVER used it. Now she even uses it without rolling her eyes. Just the weirdest shit.

Nope, yeah dindu and 3rd world countries are pretty fucking retarded but 110 is pretty average in civilized part of the world.
If you take any IQ score chart you will notice it peaks at 100 or 110 IQ points.
Those average IQ per country are so low just because they list people with very low IQ as well which pretty much kills all meaningful average.

>>14488937
I appreciate the suggestion m8, but the biggest waste of time and energy I know of is trying to teach a woman common sense. So in the meantime she gets to drive boring shitboxes that nobody cares enough to keep.

Are you me?

>>14488764

Take the key FOB away. You do NOT need to warm up a modern engine to drive it like people usually think. Just long enough for the oil to move freely. If it's like ten or less out (fahrenheit) then give it a minute.

>>14489106

First of all, she's literally afraid to freeze her vagina on the cold leather.
I warm the engine up as well until it's idling at about 800-1000rpm. Winters up here get pretty cold. And I'm pretty sure with a big v8 you actually save fuel by warming the engine in these conditions.

also he said earlier ITT that he is planning to fix it but doesn't have the time/money, so fuck you faggot, I'm not the cuck who proposed fixing it. OP is.

What's weird is when they don't take care of their OWN things, as in OP's situation.

>>14490275

OP's situation isn't weird. She basically likes his lexus more than her own shitbox in working condition. Arriving to work or a party in a shitbox after you've been arriving in a lexus is basically suicide for a woman.

My sister bought an 09 Nissan Versa off her friend (a girl) who knew nothing about cars or maintenance and never did anything to her car for like 100k miles, no fluid changes or any normal upkeep at all. The only thing she did was get the brakes fixed once because 'they stopped working right'. My sister bought it super cheap, had all the fluids changed and brakes and new tires and parts. The thing is awful but it still runs strong 10k miles later.
