long ass day

yesterday morning i woke up to my car missing only to find out it got towed. i had to cough up $170 and some change just to get my own shit back. and the worst part is they towed the car while i was in the middle of putting it back together, so the master cylinder and the steering wheel were both not on. i had to get there early so i could start working on it so i could drive it out. i replaced the booster and the master cylinder, pit the steering wheel back on and started the car just to hear a huge vacuum leak, the car sputtering, rpms wanting to drop below idle, and the brakes not working at all. i checked to make sure i had everything attached right and sure enough. i suppose it might just be that the booster is bad. i know i have to bleed the brakes, but i just didn’t have the stuff i needed to do that. that still shouldn’t cause a vacuum leak right? and the brakes should still work when applied right? i’ll be testing the brake booster and maybe looking into another one. anyways, i just drove it back home using the emergency brake lol crazy right? i also paid for a covered parking spot so a little bit of an upgrade from where i used to park.
my car at the impound

old brake booster 🤮

new one installed

my old parking spot vs my new one

and at least my upper intake manifold came in. the throttle body was supposed to come in today too but the incompetent ass mail man apparently couldnt find somewhere “secure” to leave the package even though he brought the big ass manifold box and packaging right to my doorstep. i guess i gotta go pick it up myself tomorrow.

picked up the tb today. you know what they say, if you want something delivered, pick it up yourself.. or something along those lines lol
