Because yes, your dashboard lights are basically passive-aggressive DMs.

💅 Welcome to CarLife County

You thought you were the one running your household — until you realized your car is full of dramatic divas.

Every part wants something. Every fluid thinks it’s more important than the others. And one tire? She’s been low for weeks and refuses to elaborate.

Welcome to The Real Housewives of Car Maintenance — where under the hood, the drama is always real.

🎬 Meet the Cast:

👠 Coolant (a.k.a. “Chill, But Dangerous”)

She keeps her cool... until she doesn’t. Then it’s steam, overheating, and a full-blown meltdown on the freeway.
“I told you to flush me months ago, babe.”

💋 Transmission Fluid (a.k.a. “The Silent One With Expensive Taste”)

You don’t hear from her often, but when you do... she wants $$$.
Wears red, doesn’t like to be ignored, and gets real cranky when things heat up.

👛 Battery (a.k.a. “High-Maintenance & Moody”)

She’s strong and independent — until it drops below 50 degrees or you leave the lights on.
One minute she’s full of energy, the next… radio silence.

👀 Wipers (a.k.a. “Only Helpful When Watched”)

They don’t make a scene... until it rains.
And then suddenly? Screeching, streaking, full-blown chaos.
“Don’t look at me, YOU bought the cheap ones.”

💅 Front Right Tire (a.k.a. “The Undercarriage Underdog”)

Low. Always. You fill her up, she drops again. She’s the queen of passive-aggressive pressure.
Won’t tell you what’s wrong — just sighs and deflates.
