It's been a bad car day.

It's been a bad car day.  This is why I almost always ride everywhere with Shaun.

When I tried to go to work my Kia was like, "HAHAHAHA!  NOPE."  I've never had this happen before, but it ground to a halt.  Like, I pushed the gas and it didn't matter.  It wouldn't even roll down hill in neutral.  So I was on Quintard in busy traffic trying desperately to get in the Taco Bell parking lot and my car just quit in their driveway with its ass hanging out in traffic.  It can't even be pushed in.  😳

(YES, before anyone asks and frustrates me further, my foot was off the break, the emergency break was down, and the car was in neutral.  It also had oil, the motor sounded fine, and the gears were shifting properly.  I just don't know what happened.)

SO... we had to wait for a tow truck.  And then they only took cash, which I didn't have and Shaun also didn't have, so we had to go and cash my check, THEN find their office in the ghetto.  Google didn't even know where the place was.  It's like, "Seriously?  This is a lot of fun."

THEN, there was another car I was going to have repaired and the guy quoted me one price to look it over, but then was going to charge me 3 times that amount when I picked it up.  I faxed him a letter basically (nicely) saying "Not cool - I'm not sure if I will do business with you.  If you quote me on repairs I am paying you exactly that.  I am not in a situation where I can afford to be surprised with a higher bill."  Thirty minutes later he called and said for me to just pay the original price and have the car towed away tomorrow.  He doesn't want to work on it and that is really ok.  I feel like that says more about him than it does me.  Anyway, that 2nd car that most of you know nothing about was just stressing me out and I am happy to not deal with it right now.  It is completely not running and would be a much greater expense than the Kia, and I just can't even.  I just had to put that one on hold.  LOL

Anyway, I am so glad to be home.  So, SO happy to be in my house.  The thunder sounds nice, I'm glad it's not raining much, and I'm about to put on some PJ's and head to the couch.  I am DONE with this day.
