Excuse the language....
but fuck a duck. I hate my car, I'm going to push it off a cliff and make it look like an accident so I can get a new one. Piece of shit, pain in the ass, I wish it would just fall apart totally. I have never truly wished ill will on someone as much as I am now on the guy that sold it to us.
Ok, so the car has lately been running what I consider a little too loud.. not smooth, etc. I thought it was just my imagination, or perhaps due to the coldness of the mornings, etc. Well, I guess it was yesterday when I pulled out of the apt driveway and pushed the gas to the floor that I noticed, "hmm.. it's not going anywhere or shifting, and the gas pedal is ON THE FLOOR!" So, once again I thought, perhaps it's cuz it's been sitting all night... well it did it all day, and revved the engine but never jumped gears.. it just ran really fast and didn't do much else. And, when I was just driving, it sounded like I had the gas to the floor. So, I took it to the garage place right around the corner at 7 freakin' am today and left it off and literally ran the 1.5 miles home in the snow flurries. Ok, fine, whatever. I had my long underwears on, so I was fine. Well, about 10 mins after Trish & I got back to the office (she picked me up on her lunch break..) they called to tell me "It's the transmission. We can't fix that here." SHIT!! So, they told me it was indeed not shifting out of whatever gear it was they said, and why it was running so hard and so loud. So, I freaked out a bit, then called the VW place. I talked to them for quite a bit, and they're like "Get it towed in here NOW so we can look at it. You shouldn't be driving it based on that descrption" Shit the bed. And, of course they don't have an opening till Wed, but they can take it now, look at it and work it in between appointments and have it back to me before Wednesday, hopefully. So, I'm like well what am I supposed to do all weekend with no car? Can I just drive it? No, that's not reccommended really, it could just crap out at any time. Freakin' A. So, I'm talking to mom, AAA, VW everyone trying to figure out what to do with this.. so I finally called AAA and they towed it (for free, the VW place gave me a number but they would have charged), then I called a couple rental car places and found one that as long as your 21 you pay the same costs to rent a car, and with AAA you get a 4 door for the price of a 2 door or something like that. Anyway, so I'm going to go get that after work. Mean while, I just remembered my gym clothes are in the car.. shit. Luckily not my Y card, so at least I can get in. I can always go over there later and get what I need out of it. Jeez a peez. I'm hoping to get a hold of Carmen in hopes that maybe she'll let me have her extra car for the weekend until I can get mine back, so I'm not wasting money. Assuming her husband isn't coming home. She didn't know an exact date last weekend, and I haven't talked to her since then. BLARGH. OH, and here's to hoping that this will be under whatever warranty it has left, 5 years, 50000 miles. It's a 99, so as long as it wasn't made in January, we should be ok. That, and assuming it's a "power train" or whatever issue. Which, with our luck, it won't be.
It's a good thing I was feeling cute & happy today with my hair in pigtails and my Carolina Panthers shirt, and my awesome new couch that's coming in less than a week.. sustain that feeling... ERGH!! Maybe I'll just sell the damn thing. Piece of shit. Bite me ass munch that sold us that car.
Take a deep breath, be calm, it's somewhat settled now.. you have a car, you're not stranded all weekend...
