Broken car!
| Thu, 09-25-2003 - 9:02pm |
Man what an afternoon. Had my hair cut, and the guys at Bill's shop made fun of me. I then had my son come listen to my car, it sounded funny. Hubby said just drive it, and do not worry. Wanted the smack the man. Son said it sounded fine, let it be. So off I went to the grocery store and purchased the rest of the stuff for Sundays surprise party. Loaded everything into the trunk and nothing. Dead.........well the radio, and the windows worked but it would not turn over. Tried 3 times, then called hubby. He sent our 18 year old son, who cranked it over and got it running and exclaimed......Oh Sh*t! You read that right, he told me to drive it to the shop real fast, and watch the temp gauge. I got about 1 block from the store and the white smoke was pouring out the exhust, and the motor really started making loud noises. So we moved all the grocories into DS truck and called the tow truck. Now my baby is sitting at the shop with blown head gaskets, which means the motor has to come out. Hubby likes my car but hates working on it, because its a turbo. So as of tonight he is thinking ebay, and I am sick to death over this. We are not in a position to buy another car. I do not have extra money either. Man this stinks because I am at someone else's mercy, even if it is DH. Going to borrow my folks car for a few days, but in the meantime I am worried sick.

Sorry to hear about your car. I fully understand that feeling! Why is it when we say we hear something in the car the menfolk don't? Hope you find a solution-being without a car is a real pain!
The inquiring mind wants to know-what kind of hair cut did you get? And shame on those guys for making fun! MEN!
Hope your party goes well!
Hugs to you,
Susan
I agree that nothing is worse than a broken car!

Now my hair at the time I walked into the shop was very puffy. They were teasing me because it looked as though I had driven with the windows down at 90 miles per hours. I was offended, I know they were just teasing me. But as it turns out, this is my normal girl who cuts my hair. She did something different. I tried to dry it yesterday and its not right. I guess I have no choice whats done is done. But I think next week I might go back and let her know I am not happy with it. Its only $35.00 but still.
Now my car, is at the shop. I have convinced hubby to repair it. Major job, but its not worth much as is. I love my car. Its a white Ford T-bird. 1991, Turbo Coupe. A mechanics nightmare. But its a sweet car. Sporty, yet practical. Hubby knew sooner or later this might happen. I also do not want a new car, which means a loan and collision for insurance.
