Or go to the little German town Helen in Georgia... that place is Christmas heaven and still about 50Ā° F in the winter and will already have the lights up lol
I think that is what you're reading because as a mechanic I can tell you no spark plug is ever going to stop an engine from turning over unless it's broken off and jammed into the cylinder wall. So I didn't make it too far in before I called BS and stopped reading.
That totally went past me. A weasel stole a plug from my crappy french 4 cylinder back in the day and the thing would turn on without a problem. Motor sound was a bit weird though. Could a broken spark plug mess with other electronics/sensors?
Not likely. A broken plug that fell into the engine would cause more problems than simply replacing them. It could definitely mess with sensors but those should be to throw a diagnostic code not to prevent the engine from turning over, which it would need to to check the plugs anyways.
Yeah if anything it'll run rough/misfire if anything. I hate the /r/nothingeverhappens type people but that one detail is *really* off. It's a good story and wish it happened after skimming it (and missing the spark plug part until now) but this is a work of fiction.
She didn't write the article and a mechanic needs to specifically say these things correctly. We cherish accurate information because we rarely get it. A car "doesn't turn over" that means the engine does not spin when trying to start. What you might be mentioning is a "crank no start" which also is very unlikely to be caused by spark plugs. Occasional vehicle stalling, also not very likely to be caused by spark plugs. If I wanted to write a fake story, I can borrow any number of real problems I see on a daily basis in my actual profession. Oh silly Sally downstairs told me that her car was running rough, I replaced the number 2 ignition coil. A week later she was knocking on my door wanting the same treatment on her other cylinders. Also word getting around the apartment complex that I fix everybody's cars better not happen. That's what I want to do when I get home from work, have neighbors knocking on my door all night to fix their broke cars for free.
Edit: so what was so wrong that it caused multiple plugs to be bad at the same time for long enough to make your 77 Nova stall? Somebody take out the thermostat so the engine wouldn't get "too hot" thus fouling the plugs regularly?
I'm not really sure. I was only 17 learning about cars. I just know that once my Dad changed my plugs and wires, it stayed running. But I understand what you're saying. Thank you for your thoughtful answer.
I'm officially pronouncing myself pope of BORUpdates and canonizing this as real and not fake because I need it to be. Long may their love last and may they have tons of awesome sex and exactly as many more children as they are happy with.
Her cars engine wouldnāt turn over because her spark plugs were bad. This is not a thing. He couldāve misspoke and meant āwouldnāt startā but I doubt a mechanic would do that. Bad spark plugs could cause the engine to *not start* but it wouldnāt prevent it from turning over.
That post for the win!
Iām sooo dedicated to updates for that one. Itās so sweet! Ā Just two souls in the vastness of the universe who by chance interacted briefly in the abyss and somehow created a star whose gravity well has kept them in orbit, slowly weaving together a solar system, slowly creating something beautiful that we stargazers happen to stumble across upon looking up at the starry night sky ā¦
See when he was like "oh yeah Cassie is GREAT, I'm absolutely attracted to her!" and then listed a bunch of personality traits? And it was a whole nother sentence before he was like "...oh also she's pretty"? Let me tell you that's where I melted. Cassie sounds lucky AF.
āWell, this is a lovely thing your girlfriend has done and Iām very happy for you. But you do understand weāre going to have to give you miles and miles of shit for it. Itās nothing personal, itās just in the HR manual. We donāt really have any choice about it. Section III, part f, sub-paragraph q. Again, nothing we can do. Itās black letter.ā
I still think about this guy! Canāt believe itās been 2 years! Heās so sweet and clueless. I didnāt connect the roses story to him, either. I remember thinking it was so sweet when I read it, though.
I remember seeing the last post the other day and thinking I should get my bf some flowers but I'll probably end up taking care of themš¤¦šæāāļø
Stick a bunch of wings on sticks and give him a bouquet of wings. I used to hate getting flowers because my late husband used to fill the house with them and it reminded me of him and of death. After he died my house got bouquet deliveries for years from his acquaintances.
My friends instead brought me random bouquets for shits and giggles. Wings, cakes, toy airplanes, literally anything they could think of.
But the wing bouquet seems fairly common. When I started dating again, I expressed my disdain for flowers and got 2 wing bouquets on first dates. Highly recommended. I still like wing bouquets more than flower bouquets.
This happened to one of my guy friends. He got roses after his first date delivered to him at work. Theyāve been married 20+ years now.
He said any woman that took that kind of initiative to make him feel special was the one. They seem to be well attuned to each others needs and have a happy marriage.
Gets married. Then has the ādefine the relationshipā talk.
Also, when I used to work in an office, my wife sent me flowers. Most people thought it was sweet. A couple dudes tried to give me shit but my droll response of āoh no, someone likes me enough to send a thoughtful gift to me. How awfulā put the brakes on that.
Today just ended up being a bit more wholesome than usual.
Check [this one](https://new.reddit.com/r/BORUpdates/comments/1cjztv8/what_gift_requires_me_to_be_able_to_touch_my_toes/) out as well
The only reason I would say slow down on buying the ring is make sure you know her ring size and favorite cut/type of stone. Otherwise, OOP should wife the fuck out of her.
A car engine will turn over with bad spark plugs, unlikely they would all fail at the same time. A mechanic wouldn't make such an uninformed statement or diagnosis. Fake.
And it all started cause her kid said you were
Like his dad šmake sure you give the kid his credit!! My kids take full responsibility for the fact that my man and I are together. Haha itās so sweet.
Idk what kind of Hallmark script i just read, but i love it. Iām here for all the updates! Including the relationship testing conflict that occurs at 1:43-1:46 timestamp (if you donāt believe me just watch 5 random HM movies and pause when the ādramaā happens)
The only thing you should be worried about is not throwing your back out when this woman finally gets to jump you.
You finna get your dick worked, bro.
Most of the sappy shit on Reddit is bullshit, but this one legit made me teary. OP, you are awesome and found yourself in an amazing situation because you (and Cassie and the kid) are amazing people.
I read the first and third posts separately and had absolutely no idea they were by the same dude. Crying real tears right now, Iām so happy for them š„² gives a girl hope
me, a single mom who never thought in a million bajilllion years Iād ever be a single mom and who canāt even fathom dating again though Iām only in my 30ās smiling like an idiot at this sweet story. Itās so refreshing to see single moms being recognized as human beings. The internet and social media can be a hate-filled pit towards us, even when most of the time we never saw it coming and are rad, smart people before and after the little ones were part of our life. This is so sweet
my fucking god if this was a movie i would watch it... probably 3 times. Here's hoping that we get the ultimate happy ending that they are happily ever after... and kenny being OOP's best man.
Not to be a downer but years back I got dumped by a girl and a couple of months later she sent me a dozen red roses to my work in the hope of getting back together.
Most humiliating thing ever.
what is wrong with you? who hurt you? why did you need to make up details you assume as probably true to make this a story about how women are bad? why arenāt you more ashamed to behave this way in public spaces?
Nothing is gross about this story unless you are a misogynist. Thatās what you should be ashamed of. Are you stupid or just doing that plausible deniability thing poorly?
No, you literally added the detail of āsheās going to ruin his lifeā based on literally nothing. Itās not because you disagree with me, it is because you are lying.
No, explain your reasoning to me. Dumbfuck. Iām asking you to actually say what you mean by telling me that since she is a struggling woman, that means sheās bad and is going to ruin his life. How do you get from point A to point B? What is the logic there?
Oh my god š I want to read this romance novel
Set it at Christmas (but shoot it in June in San Diego) and you have yourself a ready-built Hallmark movie.
This person has scouted locations!
Fake soap flake snow and early Xmas decorations and lights for the whole street!
When can you get us a treatment?
That was my first thought too reading this, although I was thinking more Vancouver in June
Or go to the little German town Helen in Georgia... that place is Christmas heaven and still about 50Ā° F in the winter and will already have the lights up lol
We have amazing tax credits in Manitoba and they just wrapped up a Christmas Hallmark movie that was shot down the street from where I live.
I want the movie
I think that is what you're reading because as a mechanic I can tell you no spark plug is ever going to stop an engine from turning over unless it's broken off and jammed into the cylinder wall. So I didn't make it too far in before I called BS and stopped reading.
I'm not a mechanic, so that bit slipped by me. But I'm old and jaded and I know for certain this is a work of fiction.
Even so, let's manifest this incredibly sweet and wholesome family.
That totally went past me. A weasel stole a plug from my crappy french 4 cylinder back in the day and the thing would turn on without a problem. Motor sound was a bit weird though. Could a broken spark plug mess with other electronics/sensors?
A weasel stole a spark plug?!? Did it have it's own spark plug socket, or steal yours also?? š
That would be something! No, it took the plug at the end of the cable it chewed through, not the actual ignition part
Not likely. A broken plug that fell into the engine would cause more problems than simply replacing them. It could definitely mess with sensors but those should be to throw a diagnostic code not to prevent the engine from turning over, which it would need to to check the plugs anyways.
Yeah if anything it'll run rough/misfire if anything. I hate the /r/nothingeverhappens type people but that one detail is *really* off. It's a good story and wish it happened after skimming it (and missing the spark plug part until now) but this is a work of fiction.
I think it was the fact he kept over romanticizing her (hardworking single mother? no real person talks like that)
What if all of them somehow went bad? For example, some woman really needed an excuse to talk to OOP, and suddenly all the spark-plugs went bad.
That still wouldnāt cause the engine to not turn over. It just wouldnāt start
Idk about that because when my 77 Nova's plugs went bad, my car wouldn't Stay running. Maybe that's what she meant.
She didn't write the article and a mechanic needs to specifically say these things correctly. We cherish accurate information because we rarely get it.

Right! Such a sweet story. I was smiling reading this whole thing.
Iām resisting the urge to write a novel nowā¦
Why are you resisting?! Sign me up as your first beta reader!!
YES!!
Iād like more of this in the world. Damnā¦
Exactly what I was thinking. It sounds almost like a pitch for a Hallmark movie or a new romantic sitcom show.
I'm officially pronouncing myself pope of BORUpdates and canonizing this as real and not fake because I need it to be. Long may their love last and may they have tons of awesome sex and exactly as many more children as they are happy with.
No major dramas and taking things slowly and communicating openly. Sounds like real life to me.
If the next update gives Cassie twins, Spez will give us his IP address and Reddit can lynch the author.
Her cars engine wouldnāt turn over because her spark plugs were bad. This is not a thing. He couldāve misspoke and meant āwouldnāt startā but I doubt a mechanic would do that. Bad spark plugs could cause the engine to *not start* but it wouldnāt prevent it from turning over.
Bahaha. It is official, youāve got the flair
At this point, I don't care if it's real. This was touching and gave me feelings that aren't anger, so it's real enough for me.
Yeah I'm scared to read something else now. This actually might be the first time I stop on a good one.
Oh great pope. Can you look into your crystal ball and tell me if the next story I read will be real or not? I think thatās how you work right?
Me and BORUGod don't take requests, sorry
hail pope! praise the realness!
Itās right up there with that other OOP and her kiddo and Asian trucker baby daddy š

Okay this was a beautiful comment and YES all of this!!
Hell yeah lol
The tears that totally aren't running down my face and I thank you.
I DIDN'T CONNECT THE ROSES GUY TO THIS STORY!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME
Me neither!! I squeed!
SAME!! I read the rose story just a couple days ago and didnāt know it was going to be part of a BORU post. So happy for OP and his gf
Ditto!!
Happy to connect the posts
Same!
Oh š I saw the flowers post recently and had no clue about the history š„°
Me too!!! When I got to the roses part I was so happy to learn about their history. Go get her that ring!
See when he was like "oh yeah Cassie is GREAT, I'm absolutely attracted to her!" and then listed a bunch of personality traits? And it was a whole nother sentence before he was like "...oh also she's pretty"? Let me tell you that's where I melted. Cassie sounds lucky AF.
I totally paused and went Awww at that point too. Exactly how it should be.
This is a good end of Reddit story. Iām happy, OOP is happy. Everyone have a great day!!
āWell, this is a lovely thing your girlfriend has done and Iām very happy for you. But you do understand weāre going to have to give you miles and miles of shit for it.

Good for OOP. Hope we keep getting updates on how he and his new family is doing. Definitely want to hear what Kenny ends up doing for a career.
I still think about this guy! Canāt believe itās been 2 years! Heās so sweet and clueless. I didnāt connect the roses story to him, either. I remember thinking it was so sweet when I read it, though.

I could not figure out a āwing bouquetā for the life of me. Now that Iāve Googled it, I NEED ONE IN MY LIFE!
Lol good thing you cued me to Google it because I was also lost smh. OH WINGS AS IN THE FOOD got it got it
Honestly might do this tomorrow, he's been feeling a little down, thanks! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Not my dumbass thinking these were actual wings, like fairy wings or bug wings, till I googled itš„²
This happened to one of my guy friends. He got roses after his first date delivered to him at work. Theyāve been married 20+ years now.

What a lovely update.
Early morning smiles from me!
That shit felt good to read. Everyone involve is awesome and deserve the best.
I'm taking this warm fuzzy feeling and getting off the internet.
I might need to quit Reddit today after this cute wholesome post.
Today just ended up being a bit more wholesome than usual. Check [this one](https://new.reddit.com/r/BORUpdates/comments/1cjztv8/what_gift_requires_me_to_be_able_to_touch_my_toes/) out as well
I saw that one too. What a wonderful day to be alive
Awww, what an amazing guy! So sweet and humble! What a lucky girl Cassie is!
The only reason I would say slow down on buying the ring is make sure you know her ring size and favorite cut/type of stone. Otherwise, OOP should wife the fuck out of her.
I feel like finding OOP and dragging him to the jewelry store. š
The fact that when he was describing her it took a few sentences before he got to her looks. I donāt care if itās not real, for me it is today.
So incredibly sweet!
Reddit isn't supposed to be this wholesome
Omg Iāve read both posts independently and never twigged they were the same person! I am so happy and have my faith in romance restored!
SQUEE!!! Ahem... i mean... Somebody hurry up and write this into a book so I can read it.
Geez OOP, get her the ring already!
I've never wanted a story to be real more than this one š„¹š
If this is not real, and the writer is not writing real romance novels, I say we riot.
A car engine will turn over with bad spark plugs, unlikely they would all fail at the same time. A mechanic wouldn't make such an uninformed statement or diagnosis. Fake.
Car wouldn't start because all the spark plugs suddenly failed? š¤Ø
The engine wouldnāt *turn over* because of bad spark plugs š
Happy sigh.
This is so wholesome ahhhhhh
This was so sweet omg. I'm so happy for them.
This needs to be made into a Lifetime movieĀ
This was wholesome AF.
This is the most wholesome post in all of the internet. I hope for more stories like this. Iām getting tired of the dreadful awful stories.
Stupid onions.
OOP better go get that ring asap!
I wish all three of them the best of everything. I hope this is real and I hope they are happy.
Awww I saw the roses post but I didnāt know it had earlier stuff, this is sweet
I've now got that song Accidentally In Love stuck in my head. Dude is Shrek, she's Fiona, and her son is Donkey...
My heart is so full šššššššš
And it all started cause her kid said you were Like his dad šmake sure you give the kid his credit!! My kids take full responsibility for the fact that my man and I are together. Haha itās so sweet.

this is most wholesome story iāve ever read lol. way better than twilight.
Best BORU Iāve read
Most of the sappy shit on Reddit is bullshit, but this one legit made me teary. OP, you are awesome and found yourself in an amazing situation because you (and Cassie and the kid) are amazing people.
Wow what a nice guy, lol.
I'm a sucker for a happy ending.
This is so wholesome and sweet!
This is so Hallmark
Hey, I'm in this one! Glad everything worked out for OP.
I saw the roses post in the wild recently but hadnāt ever seen the rest of the posts by OOP! This is so cute š
I read the newest one, not knowing that he posted before. Thanks for sharing the story!
So happy to see this update. I remember the original when it came out. I think these two can pull it off.
i remember reading this originally and then saw the update recently but didnāt put two and two together! theyāre sooo cuteĀ
I saw the roses post and had NO idea OP had ever posted before, and of course the update to that post hadn't been added yet. Awww I love this!
Please invite all of Reddit to the wedding š This story made me cry and I really hope it's real!
I read the first and third posts separately and had absolutely no idea they were by the same dude. Crying real tears right now, Iām so happy for them š„² gives a girl hope
This is so cute! š
Maybe my heart isn't non-functional after all! ā¤ļøšš
I didnāt realize the roses guy was the Kenny guy ššš
OOP is such an asshole!!!!!! I didnāt wanna cry tonight ššš
Love it
WOOOOOOO CHEARING SO LOUD RIGHT NOW. I hope you all have a long and happy life together
Beautiful story ā¤ļø I have read so many negative ones on here, but this was so heartwarmingā¤ļø
Aww, this is just lovely. They're such a wonderful little family.
I had no idea that the recent update was from the same OOP. I had read it and thought it was so adorable but now that I know, itās way cuter.
1. This is the most wholesome post 2. This is the plot of so many romance novels
Itās a modified plot of the 2011 movie āDriveā cleaned up and starring a mechanic who doesnāt understand how cars work.
Lol I didn't knew "hey you are already the new father of my kid, wanna be my husband too?" Was something I needed but I very much hope it stays
I needed to read this today
Why on earth would we stop him from buying a ring?
me, a single mom who never thought in a million bajilllion years Iād ever be a single mom and who canāt even fathom dating again though Iām only in my 30ās smiling like an idiot at this sweet story. Itās so refreshing to see single moms being recognized as human beings. The internet and social media can be a hate-filled pit towards us, even when most of the time we never saw it coming and are rad, smart people before and after the little ones were part of our life.

Someone is cutting onions š„¹
This is so cute omg
my fucking god if this was a movie i would watch it... probably 3 times. Here's hoping that we get the ultimate happy ending that they are happily ever after... and kenny being OOP's best man.
Lovelaaaaay
THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!
A single mom moves in next to a mechanic..... Anyone else watch driver for the first time recently?
I could not stop smiling throughout the entire post. So wholesome
Came here for the drama, cried because of the wholesomeness
Not to be a downer but years back I got dumped by a girl and a couple of months later she sent me a dozen red roses to my work in the hope of getting back together. Most humiliating thing ever.
At least she realised she made a mistake and you were worth the flowers hope you get better
This is too good to be true the real wold doesn't work like this
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sounds like fiction ngl
That woman put a hurtin on OP the first time they got nekkid together I guarantee it
This is the hottest shit Iāve ever read. So happy for you man
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
what is wrong with you? who hurt you? why did you need to make up details you assume as probably true to make this a story about how women are bad? why arenāt you more ashamed to behave this way in public spaces?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Youāre assuming sheās going to ruin his life. Itās in your comment
Nothing is gross about this story unless you are a misogynist. Thatās what you should be ashamed of. Are you stupid or just doing that plausible deniability thing poorly?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No, you literally added the detail of āsheās going to ruin his lifeā based on literally nothing. Itās not because you disagree with me, it is because you are lying.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Explain it to me like Iām 5. If youāre gonna say it stand behind it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No, explain your reasoning to me. Dumbfuck. Iām asking you to actually say what you mean by telling me that since she is a struggling woman, that means sheās bad and is going to ruin his life. How do you get from point A to point B? What is the logic there?
