GODDAMN IT.
Remember two weeks ago? I got in a multicar pile up after hydroplaning on the I-10? And it totaled my car? Well my friends, my "replacement" car started smoking today while I was driving on the freeway.
SMOKING. FROM THE INSIDE.
FROM THE STEERING WHEEL.
WHAT!? SERIOUSLY!?
Why? Why? Why?!
And it happened in a sketchy area of town. Not ideal. I had to have it towed to my neighborhood - $$$. And then I had to pump loads of $$$ into it. I'm having a straight shitty couple of weeks when it comes to cars. Oh. And the radio died last weekend. So, I haven't had any tunes. I sing to myself.
I need to quit feeling sorry for myself.
Tomorrow.
fuck!!. I would be a crying mess. Im so sorry.
ReplyDeleteSmoking from the steering wheel??? That's a new one!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's no fun at all! May I gently suggest looking into AAA membership before any road-tripping or cross-country moving? One of my friends got a membership for residency interview season and really liked it. It was less than $100, and gave peace of mind. Not only will they help in a car emergency far from home, but they offer a lot of travel and eating out discounts.
ReplyDeleteHad I thought it through, I'd have done that...instead of having to change my own damaged tire, in the dark, in a bad neighborhood, on the way to an interview. It was "character building", for sure!
I'm sorry to hear about your car....things could be worse though right?! At least you're healthy and happy...And your picture on the heading of your blog is beautiful!! I love it.
ReplyDelete@ everyone - thanks for the well wishes. I'm pissed. Ha! But yea...it could always be worse.
ReplyDelete@ Weaver - totally have AAA...they have saved my life dozens of times over the years. And they towed my car across town for cheap (something to smile about!)
boooo...car trouble is the worst!
ReplyDeleteHell, revel in your pissed off-ness. And keep on having that pity party. I'll join you as a matter of fact. Who brought the beer?
