It's not just the battery.

It's the starter and it's going to cost me 600 dollars.

Reliability no longer exists.

When you can't rely on your parents for help who the hell are you supposed to rely on?
I can rely on myself. But, I'm starting to realize that I'm not very reliable. Maybe I got that from my parents.

Lame

To those of you wondering... mom. No, i haven't moved into my new house yet because i have a crappy car. Tomorrow it should be fixed. Hurry, somebody else knock on wood.

Car Update

Still not fixed.
Bleh. It is getting towed in an hour to the dealership and I'm crossing my fingers that the only problem is the battery. My friend said he could install it so it should only cost me about 50 bucks. I hope that this is the end of my car problems for a while.

Karma's a female dog.

My car sucks. I should have bought a honda or toyota, but i didn't. so now i have to take it to the shop on monday. they said it was the battery even though i've tried to jump it like 5 times already. who knows? but, my insurance policy will cover the price of towing... so on monday i can get it towed to the shop for free and a new battery (if that is even the problem) will cost me like $160 or something retarded like that. Ughhhh i should have bought a honda. the guy at the dealer said that it isn't the starter which is fantastic. hopefully, he's right... knock on wood.

for the record. i have knocked on wood so many times in the past week i think it does the opposite for me now. any good karma i had has officially ran out.

Damn you Susie!

I was suppossed to move into my new house yesterday. All I have left is my clothes and bedding. SO, I packed up my car and I go to start it and nothing. Click. Nothing. It doesn't start. WTF!?!?!
Yeah. I know. I'm pissed too. I don't know what's wrong with it. Hopefully, I find out soon and hopefully it's not expensive to fix. I have no money, no bed, and I'm not having fun anymore.

When it rains, it pours.

So I fixed my tires on my car and everything was hunky dory (sp?)
Yesterday I drove it to work no problem. Then after work I hung out with some friends. I stayed the night at a friend's house and this morning when I was leaving it was raining cats and dogs. Like... we're talking flash flood here. Lots and lots of rain. Anyways, before I even got to the end of the street I hit a huge puddle of water and my car's RPM gauge shoots up and my car was going like 10mph. So, I decided to shut it off and restart it... Bad call. I must have got the engine wet or distributor cap or something because it would NOT start for the life of me... So I left it to dry out and it has finally stopped raining. Hopefully... tomorrow I'll be able to go and get it started and drive it home and I won't have any more problems.
On a side note... tonight at work while closing my friend and co-worker Will and I were closing the back of house and he accidentally spilled a whole six-pan of button mushrooms all down the front of me. I mean my legs and apron got drenched... and my phone was in my apron. So, now not only does my phone not work I still smell the stench of button mushrooms and I don't have my car. My luck has officially ran out.

Redskins and Murphy's Law

So yesterday started out fantastic! I got license plates for my car and everything was legal. I could drive it all around town with no worries. Katie invited me to watch the Redskins game with her friend Melissa and her. We had spinach dip, pizza, and cupcakes that Katie and I made. It as a good night.





Very fun... until... I hit a curb while trying to figure out which way to go on the highway. As soon as we get to Katie's parents I look at Katie and was like, "did you hear that hissing sound?" she said, "yes I hear it, I think your tire is leaking air." It was indeed leaking air. So, we went to the gas station and filled it up then proceded to drive on the highway. We get about half a mile and I feel the tire is completely flat. So Katie called her boyfriend Tom and we had to drive about 10mph to the closest exit (about 2 miles away.) It was a high stress situation, and I had a spare which was good, but no wrench or car jack. So, after and exchange of not so friendly words with Katie and Tom I decided to leave my car where it was and I had to go there this morning and pick it up... after buying a car jack and wrench. It was hot and gross while changing that tire. Amber was nice enough to take some pictures for me.






I now have two new front tires and "Susie" (my car) is back in business.
