Bad Day To Get Towed

This past Friday was just like any other Friday the end of the work week. So i go out to start up my car and it didn't crank all the way over so it just bogged down and died. I try to start it again and it just won't crank over it tries but won't then finally it starts up just on problem the RPM's are hoping from 900 to 2000 with a unsmooth idle so i freak out and pop the hood i check out under the hood and it all seemed to be fine so i think that it could be something major so i call the tow truck.

I have dealt with the same towing company for years now because of there great service, but today it wasn't going to be so great. Call them up and the first thing that they say is " it will be about an hour wait is that ok ?" and i said " yea thats fine an hour i can do that". So finally 2 hours later the tow truck driver calls my phone= he is lost. So then after another 30 mins. he is there. Hooks up the car actually caring and putting down wood planks so the rear doesn't scrap.

So after it is all hooked up and ready to go we take off. About 10 mins. down the road we are just driving along and all the sudden some stupid blonde pulls out in the middle of the road and stops ( it was a 4 lane road she was blocking the 2 right lanes completely) and she decieded to do all this only 10ft front of the truck. Driver had to slam on the brakes and then..... wham!!! my car breaks lose and slams into the back of the truck, i thought he was joking at first but he wasn't. The lady driver see's what happened and jets down the street as fast as she could so neither one of us could get her plate number.

Later he apologized for what happened and agreed to pay for the damage. The damage was just a scratch on the bumper because of the bar on the back of the truck that kept it from hitting the window.

I wasn't really to mad at the driver i have seen cars get hooked up all the time and know that he did everything right and tried to do everything that he could to keep it from moving but when a stupid 18 year-old girl that is so called "Upper Class" and is better then the rest of the world pulls out infront of a tow truck doing 35 mph down the road and then just cuts out 10ft in front of you and stops well yea....not to much you can do.

I think that the thing that pissed me off the most is that the girl knew she did wrong and then just drove away from it.

after i got home and relaxed just popped the hood took a really good look found a popped off and cracked vacuum line
 


yup, it was a pretty simple fix i think i was more upset that i didn't find it before, but lucky my insurance covered the towing so..
