PetSmart: A Day in the Life of a Car Enthusiast

As I sat at my desk, staring blankly at my computer screen, I couldn't help but feel a sense of restlessness. My mind kept wandering to my beloved car, Charlie's, which was currently sitting idle in the garage. I had plans to take her out for a spin later that day, and I needed to make sure everything was in working order.

First things first, I headed out to Proat PetSmart - not the pet food store you might be thinking of! It turns out Proat PetSmart is actually a company that specializes in automotive parts and accessories. As I walked through their doors, I was greeted by a friendly sales associate who showed me a range of products they had on offer.

I decided to pick up some new mice-themed decals for my car's dashboard, as well as a four-pack of replacement air filters for Charlie's engine. The salesman told me that these would help improve the car's performance and reduce emissions. I was skeptical at first, but he assured me that Proat PetSmart had a reputation for producing high-quality products.

While I waited for my purchases to be processed, I took the opportunity to explore the store further. I stumbled upon a section dedicated to car covers, which caught my eye. I knew that Charlie's was due for an upgrade soon, and these covers looked like they would provide excellent protection from dust and UV rays.

As I continued to browse, I spotted a sign advertising a special promotion on new wiper blades. The salesman told me that these were made from high-quality materials and were designed to improve visibility during heavy rain or snowfall. I decided to take advantage of the offer and picked up a set for Charlie's windshield.

With my purchases complete, I headed out of the store feeling satisfied with my shopping experience. As I walked back to the garage, I couldn't help but feel excited about the upgrades I had made to Charlie's. It was going to be a great day for car enthusiasts like myself!

Next Up: The MR2 Oil Change

As I returned to the garage, I knew that there was still one more thing to attend to - the oil change in Charlie's engine. I had been putting it off for weeks, but I finally decided it was time to get on with it.

I pulled out a drain pan and carefully positioned it under the car's oil pan. Next, I removed the old oil filter and discarded it responsibly. With the new filter in place, I began to pour in fresh oil - a high-quality synthetic blend that would keep Charlie's engine running smoothly for miles to come.

As the oil flowed into the engine, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. There was something therapeutic about working with my hands, and watching as the old oil was replaced by new. It was moments like these that reminded me why I loved tinkering with cars in the first place.

Finally, with the oil change complete, I took Charlie's out for a spin. The engine purred smoothly, and the new wiper blades were doing an excellent job of clearing rain from the windshield. It was shaping up to be a great day indeed!

The Turbo Charger: A Wire Upgrade

As I continued to enjoy Charlie's newfound performance, I began to think about one final upgrade - a thicker wire for the car's electrical system. The salesman at Proat PetSmart had mentioned that this would help reduce the strain on the engine and improve overall performance.

I pulled out my trusty multimeter and began to measure the current flowing through the existing wires. The reading was shocking (pun intended!) - I was surprised to find that the wire was only rated for a fraction of the current it was carrying.

With this in mind, I decided to upgrade to a thicker, more durable wire that would be better equipped to handle the demands of Charlie's engine. I carefully installed the new wire, making sure to follow all safety protocols and guidelines.

As I worked, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at having taken care of something as important as this. It was moments like these that reminded me why I loved working with cars - there was always something new to learn, and a constant challenge to overcome.

The Final Touches: Cleaning Up the Garage

With Charlie's now fully upgraded and running smoothly, it was time to tackle one final task - cleaning up the garage. The old oil had made a mess of the floor, and I knew that I needed to act fast before things got out of hand.

I grabbed a mop and bucket, and set to work scrubbing away at the stains. It was hard work, but eventually the floor began to shine like new. As I finished up, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction - it had been a long day, but it had all been worth it in the end.

And so, with Charlie's now purring smoothly and the garage spotless, I decided it was time to call it a day. It had been a great adventure, and one that I would always treasure. Until next time, when the urge to tinker strikes again...

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enat PetSmart going to get some more mice for trouser get a four pack found another was nest in the waggo in Charlie's we just went and cut out these pieces we didn't need that were left over from when we cut the radiator support off and that stuck out a little bit right here so that gave us a little more room to fit these boots on we still have to trim the boots a little bit these came like longer than they need to be so we'll trim these down and get them all fitted up got all the boots cut got this last piece of intercooler piping cut everything fits up good right now we're just about to start putting the clamps on it got the blowoff valve on just got to hook the wastegate up and do some other little things and it's pretty much good to go got all the clamps on and tightened uh we left this off for right now just in case there's any like little specks of metal or dust that didn't get cleaned out of there so we'll drive it around and if we if the turbo spools up at all it'll kind of blow any out that might still be in there and then we'll put this back on after we make sure it runs and drives fine just stole the battery out of my hatch cuz that's going to be down for a little bit so getting that put into char wagger right now maybe start it up soon maybe take it for a spin we just got to make sure everything's working right all right got to give it a jump since my battery died see if it'll fire up oh yep still dead just got to give it a second well we finally got the battery charged and we did get it we did manage to get it to run a couple times but every time we would crank it uh we'd blow this fuse right here and we're guessing it's cuz this wire is too thin and it can't handle the current so we're going to have to get a thicker wire running from the back to the front here because if we put the battery up here and just jump it with the battery right here with these thick jumper wires it's fine I mean it runs great but when we have it on here it'll blow the fuse pretty fast because it probably just has too much current going through it so almost got it done but it's going to be sitting for a little bit longer until we get that wire in you make it we skate it counts counts counts uh we found out on Charlie's Car we just need to get a thicker wire and completely get rid of that fuse and we should be good to go on that but we didn't get to that today so I'm just going to end this video by doing an oil change on the MR2 real quick cuz it's been needing one since I bought it dirty as hasn't had an oil chain since July of last year and it has over 15,000 more miles I dropped the freaking drain plug down this hole right here by accident so now I got to pour this all out to get it there it is what a so high up
