Both Cars Broke Down Today

[monster]

This probably should be in Nothingland BUT IT GODDAMN DOESN"T FEEL LIKE NOTHING!



We're mostly finding it funny ...because what the hell else can you do? But really......


So, the Windstar first broke down on the way to a swim meet last thurs. Turned over but wouldn't catch after stopping at Burger King for a nutricious family dinner because no time to go home or pack anything better...... Called AAA, called a friend to come get the swimmer..... Finally the fucker started as the friend showed up, so cancelled AAA

Fine for 5 days. Same thing last night in the parking lot at the ice rink after the game. Called AAA, beest turned up to get the boy and the kit...... Tow truck called to confirm directions, just as it finally started again. So we cancelled again. beest had been messing with the throttle. Seems like fuel line/pump problems. But very intermittent.

Took it in to the shop 8am today. they are all "ooh, that sounds weid, NFI can you leave it all day?" No, I can't. Maybe Friday. 8 or 9 starts and stops later it breaks down again. In the same fucking Burger King parking lot. (My lunch plans changed, I needed food, i was worried about it not starting so i figured hell, lightning never strikes twice......i swear I haven't been to BK for at least 6 months befor this week....) No calling AAA this time. fucked about with the throttle, waited around and eventually it started. So after the rest of my errands, decided to drive it to the shop and leave it there instead of waiting for Friday. beest texted me the potential price. decided to procrastinate and went home GOOD FUCKING JOB! His car totally died on the way home/to pick up Hebe. Fucked alternator, no warning. he did actually get towed.

What a day.

Good job he's getting a ride to the tournament Friday.
