Car got delivered. Owner leaves. I wash car. I pull plugs. I clean empty battery compartment. I take voltmeter to neighbor's abandend CRX. 12 volts :)Neighbor loans me said battery. Well, not saying "no" is saying "yes". Trust me, it's logic. 510 kid installs said battery. I turn key, wiper goes, knocking tools off winshield. I turn on headlights, they work. All idiot lights come on. I try the starter, POP POP POP. BIG SMILE It turns over. Re-install plugs, NGK 4 prongers. I turn key, CH CH CH CH CH. Depress throttle, turn key. CH CH CH, VROOOOOM. 13 volts, 60 pounds of oil pressure. BIG exhaust leak. PFT PFT PFT PFT. Jack up car, notice downpipe to exhaust gasket hanging. Looks like it's missing a few bolts. Take pics. Come in side. Need food, then more investigating. Some car drives buy, guy looks out, says "wanna sell it"?
