Recently (in reality), the car is taking 5-6 seconds to crank now. hpfp i know. Always used the same gas station 98% of time. Shell V-power.


So I had the most oddest dream last night. Driving my e92 335i down this hill off South St. passing the 605 freeway in los angeles near Cerritos Mall.

Being a 6spd manual, as the car was coasting down the hill at 30mph, I see my orange dash gauges slowly dim off and the half-engine icon comes on... engine shuts off and I lose complete brake vacuum pressure.. (no brakes!)...

I panic because there's a huge line of cars in front of me and so I swerve and I'm sideways, crashing into the cars doing 360s and such... fuck I thought.. cars totaled.

then I woke up......

nobody was in the car with me and the airbags did not deploy.

My suspicion that the airbags did not deploy is due to the fact that my subconscious does not contain "memory" of what it feels like to have air bags deployed because I've never experienced air bag deployment in real-life. Does this make any sense?

I remember having a dream several years ago where I was shot, but there wasn't any pain because i've never been shot in my life before so I don't know what it feels like to be shot. My sub-conscious therefore, can not correlate that pain while I'm dreaming.

still love my car though..

When he engine stalls you are not loosing the complete vacuum! You are loosing it with pushing the brake. If you push it once and keep it pushed there is no difference between a running engine or a stopped engine.

And if you lost the vacuum because you pushed the pedal too often you still have full brakes but you have no vacuum to assist you. You have to push (much) harder but it is no problem to stop the car.

The old beetle has no vacuum assistance but brakes
