Default Stupid sister

My Sister has a 2005 accent with about 110,000 miles on it. She came over to the house last night saying her cars check engine light started flashing as she was driving and the car was acting really funny.



I have a code reader so I checked out the problem and it came back as a misfire. So I asked her when the last time she had the plugs and wires changed. She looked me like these emoticons and said "Spark plugs and wires???" - and then and then





Which I knew right away just by the looks she gave me, I was going to be doing this then this and finally this





So, I drove to the store, picked up a set a wires and plugs, and put everything in. The old plugs were so old and the wires literally fell apart in my hands as I took them out. Then, for shits and giggles I checked her oil and it was blacker than hell. So I did an oil change on the car real quick too.



Stupid girls not knowing about maintenance The car ran like a champ after all that though.

Well, at least the Hyundais generally tolerate this kind of abuse.

There are some men that are that stupid/clueless when it comes to cars too. I know, I have a few of them for my friends.

I blame the previous four generations for not training their children properly.
