Yeh, I didnt' get it at first when I first heard it in high school....and when I did eventually learnt its meaning, a teacher overheard a group of girls talking about said 'Fred' and she was like, 'you still call it that?' so i presume it's been around for a while.

Hm, never heard of it referred to like that... And I don't think I'll be picking up that particular slang... ^_^;

But yay for page 3!

Hello *Hime*! Today is only busy cause I have to do some grocery shopping, get a new light bulb for the headlight of my car, replace said light bulb [while knowing little about cars], call olive garden and reserve a table for 13-14 people and a bunch of other things... Dx It's gonna be a long day...

The headlight should be fairly easy Dae, theyre typically a screw in screw out component that holds the light which mounts into the back of the light fixture. When you pull it out, do so slowly so you can see if there are any bayonets on it and whether they have a high/low level so you put the new one in the same way.
I had a similar issue with one of my rear lights, put the globe in back to front (some how) and it was dimming on hard brake instead of getting the second stage of brightness, and was over bright normally.

It was very easy Assassin! I actually only saw this after I actually did it but thankfully, my owner's manual had instructions on how to do it. And the people at the auto parts store were very nice.

I'm kind of getting sick of all the investments I'm making for this car that is not mine though... Especially when I need to get one of my own soon.

Basically it means that theyre all travelling in exactly the same direction, not going in slightly different ones. Like the front ones arent trying to pull apart slightly or the back ones angled inwards and pushing together etc. If theyre aligned correctly then youll find things are a lot smoother etc. Basic part of changing tyres etc.

Assassin_666: Well... Hopefully, this will make the car stop shaking. And this is what the parents recommended so I'm just doing what they say. But I'm definitely looking at getting a car of my own soon. Cause I'm tired of investing money into this one that is not my car...

Yeah that should help. Probably need to get mine realigned too actually, i get over 100kph and it starts to shake the steering wheel. over 140kph and you can feel the whole car swaying around on the road and it becomes a little hard to keep straight! You shouldnt have to fight it to stay on the road.

hahaha, my first car shouldnt have passed! It needed a new ignition barrel (the bit where the key goes in) because i could take it out while i was driving. I was restoring the car though and the mechanic inspecting it said 'do you have a new one' and i didnt hear him properly so i replied 'yeah' hoping that was acceptable for an answer and he passed it lol! he was then talking to my dad for a bit after and told him so thats how i knew what he had asked lol!
