Bad Car Karma

[winter_elf]

:::Blah::: Why is it always when one is exhausted, tired and just plain worn out and want dinner and bed after a long day at work when one's car decides that THAT is the day to knock out? Not only that, but after waiting for over two hours, freezing because I had too thin a coat, the WRONG size monster tow-truck shows up?

It just wasn't my night, that's for sure. Nothing like trying to extract a car from a parking garage that makes it seem like a challenge.

It gave me a few warnings it wanted service, too bad I didn't catch on quick enough. One never knows whether that strange noise the car makes is a sound that's 'valid' or one that gets your mechanic to roll their eyes at you. I tell my mechanic about all sort of sounds. Mostly it's the eye roll. This time, wouldn't you know it, he went, oh yea, that was your starter going. :::sigh:::

So, now I'm trying again today to convince AAA that I need a SMALL tow-truck to extract my car. And no, it does not need a jump. Honest. The battery is fine.

Poor thing. AAA can be really dense at times. My favorite is when the just send a little pick up and you tell them you need to be towed. So you wait even longer for another truck. What a pain.
Hope it goes well for you.

Glad you made it home okay.

Let me know if you need to be picked up or anything...

I will. Thanks :)

Oh for gosh sake. :/

Was John around or anything? Too bad you couldn't knock off in the car or anything like that. How much is it going to cost you now?

Poor Annette. Stupid car. :(

Underground parking garage. I was on level 2. Unlike the X-files, my cell phone didn't work when I was down at my car, so I was waiting at the parking garage entrance for the tow truck. And it was a bright sunny but cold day that turned into a freezing icepit when the sun went down. brrrrrr... and yea, the crazy boss was around. Luckily since I had to borrow cash to pay the tow man because my mechanic is farther away then 7 miles. No report on how much this repair is going to be yet. ::worry::

I'll keep my fingers crossed that it won't be much. :(
