My car is talking to me....every time I crank the engine.  It's getting Really aggravating.  But, the other day it was embarrasing.

I have clients here and we head out of the office to good look at homes they have selected to view.  Every time we get back into the car, I start the engine....and there on the dashboard is a message.....then another message.....then another message.

EVERY TIME I START THE CAR !!!

Grrrrrrrrrr  It's aggravating.

Talking CarTire PressureLow Fuel

One of my clients (sitting in the back seat) could see the dashboard.....

and says to me:  "Don't you hate that??"

I said "Yes, I do".  We all had a cute talk about how are cars scream TALK to us. And I assured them that I take great care of my clients and taking care of my car is not one of my high priorities   :)

             (I swear I will get my car serviced this week.  I just haven't found the time. )

I would have been emabarassed as well, but what a great conversation piece.  I am sure at some point it just became plain funny.  Hope you get the time to make it for service...or maybe not?!?!?!

Sounds like your car is begging for a service. Better that than breaking down while showing homes.

I would take it in before you end up stranded.

I would make it a high priority I think your vehicle and how you care for it is a reflection of you since this is your office that we spend most of our time in.

It can be annoying!  I would also take it in and have it checked before it doesn't start, that would really be embarassing!

when my navigation is on I feel that way, when I am on the phone, I did not realize that my navigation can be heard better than I can.... :)

Valerie - yes, it was a good giggle.

Ellie & Shane - I swear....I'll get it serviced.  The darn car tells me that I need to change by oil every 3,000 miles....it's just a pain in the tush.  :)

Heather - yes, my Ford Explorer is my "4-Wheel Office" !

Tony & Darcy - I love the "low fuel" thingy...it will tell me I have 50 miles to "empty". 

Konnie - I don't have one of those GPS/Tom-Tom things....it would drive me crazy telling where to turn.

Christine - My 'check engine' light has been on for over 6 months - I just ignore it - VW needs to reset it and I take it to my local guy who does not have the ability to reset the senor when he does my work - oh well, I will live with the light - he is A LOT cheaper than going to the dealer!!!

Those are not as bad as when my airbag light was on and I rounded a corner and all of the airbags went off!  Talk about a reality check, if a light is on, my car is at the shop immediately!

Barbara-Jo - I've been ignoring it too.  My "low tire pressure" sensor is on the SPARE TIRE also.  ANd it's the one that is low.  I don't want to lay on the ground to put air in a Spare !

Jason - Wow, that is "really scary".  I'll have to get my manual out and see what the airbag signal is on my car.  That one does worry me.

My husband had a check engine light on for months and it finally went away, he thinks it's fine now! lol.  I would not follow his example though.
