Apparently, when you change the battery on a Kia Sorrento, you have to keep power on the terminals or the computer goes haywire. Not that its causing issues, it just thinks there are issues, so the check engine light comes on and won't turn off until you drive it awhile until the car realizes nothing's wrong.
Jack didn't know this about that particular car. He's a one man show, so I can forgive that. But he's also a dealer, so he can't sell a car without a valid inspection sticker. And nobody can sign off on an inspection with a check engine light. And you can't clear the light if it's not showing any codes (which it wasn't). So he's got to drive the car for awhile until it clears.
Whoops.
Meanwhile, I had taken everything out of my old car and I have this bag of stuff sitting in my basement. Looking at it, I realized that over the past six years I've just been tossing stuff into the various compartments thinking it might be handy sometime.
Spoiler alert: most of it hasn't.
The little solar powered flashlight? Used that. The bag of disposable masks from the pandemic? Get outta here.
My problem is I can see the value in things without seeing the necessity. So now I have to figure out what to do with three fourths of this stuff.
