Ya So My Day Sucked Yesterday
 
OK, BESIDES being slammed with school, having my car keyed, and trying to plan a wedding I had a heck of a lot of crap on my plate yesterday. I almost got my gun... (OK it's not THAT bad but it's pretty bad.)

I go out to Beauty and load up my art stuff to go to school. (As I walked past the key mark I crenged) I manually opened my driver's side door (because my F****** alarm is shot) and got in. I turned the key and the lil trooper fired up. I let her warm up a sec and then put it in reverse. When I was done backing up I applied the brakes. OK YA NO BRAKES. So I said: Shoot. No freakin brakes (Rated G version). SO I put her back into her spot and unloaded my stuff. I woke Anthony up and I took my car (VERY carefully) to the shop with him following in the Cobra. So we get the car there and the dude says: Ya we can fix her right up! WHEW! I was relieved. So Anthony and I went to run some errands (Ya Ya I skipped School) and while we were at lunch the dude calls and says: UGHHH There's a problem. Turns out my front brakes were F****** up and needed to be machined. Anyways, So We go to pick up Beauty and find the tech getting out of her with a bag of freakin wendy's and then find out that the bill is $470!!! :o Well.... I DON'T HAVE $470 Bucks!!! So I said FINE charge it! So Beauty's all fixed and paid for. I go to get in Beauty and Anthony goes to the Cobra. WELL the COBRA won't START. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

So right now the Cobra is being fixed for an electrical problem and it needs a NEW TRANSMISSION.

SO now that you all know about my day I'm gonna go have a nice drink. Then I'm gonna have a second.

Man that is a sucky day.

Oh and I would have ate the tech for lunch after seeing him get out with the Wendys bag.:mad:

That's the same thing my daddy said and I replied: As soon as I find a bag full of money, I'll be allllll good. :D

That sounds like my luck. My truck was broken down for about 5-6 months with a broken shift fork (didn't know what the problem was for that long). The day after I fixed it, I drove my stang to work and it died on the side of the freeway on the way home. Sat in the driveway for about 3 months. A few hundred dollars in new parts ad alot of blood and frustration, and it turns out that it was the distributor. A $50 dollar fix!! The only thing you can do is take it all in stride, and have another drink.:D

That guy at the shop would have two problems, right cross followed by a left hook!!!!!

Crap, I'm sorry you're week has sucked, RedLilPony.

It's weird 'cause my week ain't been so good either. I've been having starting problems with BOTH of my 'stangs (almost leaving me stranded many times-- both cars! :mad: ) plus REALLY busy days at work.. :mad:. Things will get better. Until then, make sure you take some time off to take a breath or two. And I'm really sorry about your car getting keyed. Were you ever able to get any justice out of the matter?

Unless you have ABS brake system problems ... $470.00 seems excessive for brakes ?? I would question that !!

DAMN JODI,
SOUNDS LIKE YOUR WEEKS BEEN GOING LIKE MY YEAR! I keep thinking to myself.....(and you should too), ITS GOT TO GET BETTER, CUZ IT CANT GET NO WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

You gonna be able to make it to the MCOH show this Sunday at Jack Roach? We'll be there...
Hope your weekend goes a HELLUVALOT better than your week has! Good luck w/ everything and I hope you get the Cobra up and running too! :(
