WTF

this morning i wake up and head out to see bill boost. im about 45 minutes from my house, and im starting to head home. when i feel my brake pedal is super soft. im thinking at first that its no big deal. it felt as if i had just finished doing brake work. so im sitting at the first light, i put the car in neutral and start pumping the brake pedal. its not working. ****, i drove on a bit further then see my abs light go on. **** its gotta be some thing npw right? i pull over in an empty lot and of course theres a good sized puddle under my car. yeaaay i blew a line. i havent got AAA, awesome. andi got the biggest kick out of the sign on the broken down abandoned building, it was a service station LOL.i called up my mom and luckily my buddy ( lives with me ) has AAA. so they head out to get me. i sat in that abonded parking lot for 3 hours as they got lost and ran in circles. when they get there my mother says to me "look at this" while they were on the highway a rock jumped up and cracked her windshield. so the tow comes and after a total of 4 hours in that lot we set off. now we're on the highway heading home. when this truck pulls out of the median on the left side of the road. the trucks loaded with boxes inside and out, and as he barrels across the left two lanes those boxes fly off. two large boxes of ducting spread across the highway **** **** ****. luckily my mother is a good driver so we get out unscathed. but what a hell of a day that was. and at the end of it i still have to go to work. and i just found out the shop where my car is is closed untill monday so im carless for the weeked which sucks cuz my schedule is booked solid.

so that was my awesome friday the 13th /rant
 


Well, today was DEFINITELY Friday the 13th.

Long stories short as possible.

State police were called to the shop
A urethane injection gun gummed up on us today.
Had one guy outright quit.
Had another put in two weeks notice.

And that was just today. If I told you how my whole week has gone you'd wonder how I am still sane.
 
im soo glad nothing has happened to me or my car today!
we drove 4hrs to help family today (babysitting) and not a single issue, other than giant bug splaters all over my freshly waxed car and a layer of pollen you wouldnt believe lol
but really in the grand scheme of things thats nothing!
 
I had a brake line blow on me onw too, (no today though), was yours a rubber line or a metal line? Mine was the metal line directly behind the fuel filter, rust hole in the metal line blew out.
 


AAA is a life saver. I blew a power steering line on my old car and luckly a kid that lived in the same apartments as i did had AAA. So we fibbed and said he was driving it and got my car towed 2 hrs home for free :)
 
i put in 30 dollars worth of gas in the camaro stalled my car out, had to replace filter and empty tank, water in gas, Drove my dads truck, no speedo and the Trans wouldnt shift.

Fixed both, but they sucked.

i couldnt actually see it. i know which ones your talking about ( last gtp blew both). this was from the engine bay area... suspiciously close to where itd drip from the master cylinder. im hoping its just a line though.

oh and i forgot to mention... the tow guy... lol.. the tow guy. my buddy was going to ride home with him ( i couldnt as i wasnt the AAA policy holder.) but he was late for work. so my friend asks the guy if its alright if he didnt go... the tow guys response was " nah, id rather drive alone so i can smoke my weed" he tells me this as the guy pulls off the lot with my car on the flat bead! and let me tell you my car was a bouncing all around the ****ing truck. i almost passed out.

good for you

Although looking at all the things that could have happened to me my mother and my car, i think i made off fairly lucky. aside from my sunburn that is :th_jester:

but seriously i have proof that billboost tried to kill me
I'm gonna be mean to your car tomorrow for that one. It's the same exhaust!

you vindictive bastard you :th_laugh-lol3: :th_laugh-lol3: :th_laugh-lol3:
 
i had a great day lol. drove 6 hours from dayton OH to chicago illinois, with no speeding tickets, to see rise against tear the ****ing roof off the place. now i'm about to share a hotel room with the ex girlfriend i still have feelings for... here we go
 


I saw a black cat.... actually 2.. one was a kitten though.

but other than that nothing really happened to me, i actually had a good night.

on the other hand, my 2 friends had bad luck, one got suspended for a fight he didnt even through a punch in.
 
I was sick all day at work, dizzy and disoriented, felt like I was gonna die. Now I'm up at 5AM with a fever. Yay. And I was supposed to do my first head gasket job today with a friend. Just got done emailing him saying I probably won't be there. Double yay.
 
I just got a call from the shop where i had the car dropped off. some how during the tow the drivers rear control arm got ripped clean out. not really a big deal as AAA should be liable for the cost of repair. its just more time that im car- less. ugh

Somehow?

Also just me but I'd raise hell. If the rear control arm got ripped out God only knows what happened to the CV's, rims, shocks, etc. etc. You said it was bouncing all over when he took it away...
 
yeah i know i am nervous to see the car. i stopped by the lot to make sure it was there but at the time didnt think of looking it over.
 
You got a buddy with a lift or work in a shop? I'd put it up there and check EVERYTHING. Damn, I'd even be afraid for the rack & pinion with all that side to side jolting on it. Def at least get them to pay for an alignment if you find nothing else wrong with it
