On Sunday afternoon, I dug my bike out of the basement and rode a few miles to Autozone. I plopped down on a jump start kit. (It’s heavy, so it wasn’t easy riding back from the store with that swinging from my handlebars.) I charged it up and the next morning…nothing. Damn thing didn’t work. […]
Read More The car works again…Called Saturn. The guy on the phone was less than helpful. “It sounds like you need a new battery.” I suggested it may just be the alternator instead. “Yeah, it could be that.” The earliest they could look at it was Tuesday at 3pm. Ugh. By that time, the battery will probably be dead anyway. […]
Read More Car updateIt took me over 2 1/2 hours to get home from work. It usually takes about 40 minutes. My car wouldn’t start in the Monster parking lot, so I called AAA. An hour later, some guy from Jack’s Towing in Maynard (which is only about 5 minutes away) shows up. He forgot his jumpstart kit. […]
Read More Cars suck…especially mine this week.I should stop going for oil changes. They always get REALLY expensive. This was my 90,000 mile maintenance thingie. There were a few problems I was aware of (like the fog light cable being disconnected, a low coolant warning light that was on, and a slow leak in my right rear tire) but they found […]
Read More My car…again…I forgot to mention it, but I went to court to fight that ticket I got for having an expired inspection sticker. (It expired in September and I was stopped on October 30th.) I presented the inspection test results taken less than three hours after I got the ticket where the car passed and simply […]
Read More Click It or TicketIt turns out the repair estimate was $100 higher than the actual cost. It’s still a lot, but at least I’m $100 less in debt. Car runs fine now…
Read More The big ol’ billOkay, I could write up a long rant about all the stuff that went wrong today, but instead I’ll just list it all. Seems like more fun at the moment… Stuff that went wrong today: I missed Christine’s call to my cell on my drive in because I had the radio turned up too loud […]
Read More Today = Suckage$29 later, my car has passed inspection. …not that there was any doubt in my mind.
Read More Pass this!So I’m driving to work this morning, minding my own business. As usual, I’m stuck behind a bunch of cars going the speed limit. After passing over a poorly angled bridge, there’s a farm stand on the right. A police car is parked there, angled so that it’s out of view from traffic headed in […]
Read More I was chased by the police again…Damn, it’s hot and humid here. I wish I had AC in this place. I finally got the part I needed from AutoZone and hooked up those lights in the front of my car tonight. They’re cheesy, but fun. Okay, I need a shower before bed. I’m all sticky and gross from this humidity.
