What did Mr. Cash mean by a "Wednesday Car?" Have you encountered any Wednesday Cars in the garage? Are they truly as good as Mr. Cash would lead me to believe? How does one identify a Wednesday Car? I'm looking to make my next vehicle purchase a Wednesday Car if at all possible.
Thank you for your help

Well tbh I think he lays it out pretty clearly in the song, but I believe the idea is the auto factory line workers do their best work on Wednesday because Mon/Tue they're recovering from the weekend and Thu/Fri they're just thinking about the weekend. I've never heard this song before, but I do often say "This part looks like it was desighned at 4 pm on a Friday" or "This welder was hung over on a Monday" so this logic certainly gets my tacit endorsement. Unfortunately car chassis are only stamped with the month and year, not the date of assembly. But if you take any prospective used car buys to your local mechanic for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, and play the song for them, they will be able to tell you if the car in question is, at least colloquially speaking, a "Wednesday Car"

how often should i have to replace the headlight bulbs in my 19 hyundai elantra? i just swapped this bitch out in september and its already out on me is it the type of bulb with the connector that plugs into the rear that you then twist in/out? If so the rubber seals where the bulb assembly screws in can degrade or come loose. That would be my first port of call. Also you can put a dab of dialectric grease on the contacts where the connector plugs in, often helps.

Also make sure it's going in straight. You can sometimes have it go in, twist, and stay, but it'll be at kind of an angle and leave a gap where moisture can get in. Also make sure you're not touching the bulb with the skin on your fingers at any time.

🤷🏻♂️
anything can happen when you're dealing with electricity!
might try wiggling the connectors with the lights on to see if you have an intermittent bad contact

haha I don't think you'll get shocked from doing that!
I have no idea how people find my shop tbh, it usually seems like new customers have wandered in without knowing where they are, what a car is, or who they are

My first car was a 72 Plymouth Fury that had two horns that would usually go off sequentially and make that noise. I wish I had my current garage and confidence when I had that beast

Yo Mr. Cookies: what weird euro car brand should I buy or avoid? What a question! Off the top of my head, the European car that is most "reliable" and engineered in the way that "makes the most sense" (I am grinding my teeth as I write this) is probably Volvo. Earnest question: is it hard to get a Honda or Toyota in Germany? They were all pals at one point at least (WWII humor)

That reminds me, there's this amazing old guy whose car I work on that is a World War II veteran. He has a veteran license plate frame so I always assumed Korea, because he moves around and looks better than most 80 year olds. But I asked my boss today and the guy is 97!!!
His last name is eyetalian so I almost asked him which side he fought on, but even at 97 he might still have enough strength to kill me so I didn't

I have a coworker with a Cummins Ram (towing mirrors are always out, of course) and he installed an air compressor not for offroading but to install a train horn on his truck. Goes great with rolling coal and being a piece of shit.

The new kid at work has a 3" lift kit on his stupid S10, and keeps deferring buying tools to save up to lift his truck a further 3 inches.
When I asked him why he feels he needs to do that, he looked at me like I just asked him to speak ancient Egyptian and could not articulate any answer.
